#30daysofawesome – DAY 26 – Going the extra Dutch Mile.

For all the time I had recently spent in the Netherlands, the biggest thing I don’t like is that I don’t know the language. I’ve always felt wrong about the fact that as an American, visiting a foreign country, rather than I know the language to communicate, every one in whatever foreign country I’m visiting speaks English. Even though they don’t have to! It bothers me. Makes me feel ignorant and selfish. So, as I was making my way from Holland to Oregon, I happened upon this Rosetta Stone kiosk in the Houston airport.

The very helpful kiosk attendant, William, showed me how it works and I correctly indicated the drinking children versus the eating children. Brava.

So, I did it. I purchased the last remaining copy of the Level One Dutch learning kit.

Please, dear Nog and Awesome patrons, hold me accountable and check in on me and my language learning!

Check what the other girls may need help being held accountable for! 30daysofawesome.com
