Hi! Any Dutch speakers here? I'm looking to improve my spoken Dutch. In return, I can help you with Mandarin or English. I'm 23f, Singaporean.
Na een jaar in Amsterdam kan ik redelijk goed Nederlands spreken (denk ik) dus zal het niet TE vervelend zijn, om met me te spreken.

Bang & Olufsen are really good, but they are expensive.

Is that a reply to the wrong post? Bang & Olufsen seem to be a Danish brand for electronics :p

You are quite right.
My knowledge of Europe sucks in general. Guess you have to try Kharma or Phillips then.

I do too, but all work and no play makes SMS a dull boy!

twistlehop, I'm not Singaporean, although I've been here over 31 years. I'm a Yank!

Most home-grown SGn I've met don't even understands the satirical comments that I made to some idiocy we both witnessed or heard...
Of course it could be because I mostly use American English, and they use hokkien-Singlish...because I could've sworn I see them laughing with each other after some chat that seems to be mocking something...maybe me?
Edit:
I saw your post from the language exchange...you're definitely not home-grown, twislehop
Also, du hast seit 2006 Deutsch gelernt, oder? Ich auch, und von Januar 2012 bis Juli 2013 habe ich in Goethe-Institut SG gelernt, aber nur B1...
Ich brauche Deutsche Konversation...mit Alkohol. Ich glaube, wir sprechen bessere Deutsche mit Alkohol. Ich habe es in Chiang Mai bewiesen. Hahaha.

Apparently, we're going Dutch here
Twistlehop, als je na 1 jaar al Nederlands kunt spreken, dan petje af hoor, well done, given that Dutch can be pretty nasty. You obviously have a knack for languages.

Ja oké Hortens! Dat doe ik. Maar je woont in East Coast toch? Beetje ver voor me
Bedankt Max, ik studeerde taalkunde en heb Duits gestudeerd... Dus was het een stuk makklijker te leren. En ik vind 't wel een mooie taal
Toen ik in NL woonde zat ik 3 uuren per week met een vrijwilliger (een 80-jarige man) om in het Nederlands te praten. Was heel leuk!
Hi!

Hi Hortens! Ik woon in Boon Lay, heel ver van East Coast. Ga je misschien af en te na het centrum?
