Hey, I've discovered this great podcast made by a guy whose girlfriend is learning Dutch - I'm on episode 6 already, it's very easy to follow

"Laura speaks Dutch" podcast
It's great isn't it. It's such a difficult language though. But listening over and over and repeating again and again and it starts to sink in. I can't wait to try out my new phrases.... lots of useful practical information and fascinating cultural facts thrown in too... I hope Laura and Brenno last forever and he teaches her (and us) until she's fluent.... how ever long it takes
