I lived in the Netherlands for 18 months. Before heading to the land of the windmills, I was in a special program for 6 weeks to learn (sort of) the Dutch language. When I first arrived, I was amazed by how much I hadn't learned during my 6-week course. And yet, after probably 3 months, I was closet to fluent and after 6 months, fully fluent.
Why? How?
I don't know. Well, maybe I do a little. I loved the culture. I love the people. I tried to mimic them. I asked questions. I wrote things down. I spoke Dutch!
