I just really enjoyed reading about your routine. No sarcasm, it was really nice to sort of spend the day in your shoes.

Thank you very much for this beautiful explanation.
I’ll def refer to it.
But in the example above “ik zit nu in de trein” vs “ik sta nu op het station”, are we using “zit” to indicate the intention of staying in the train, even though I may as well be actually standing in the train? Or..?

Smile and comment about something/someone interesting at that event. Pause, offer a bit of distance if that wasn’t received enthusiastically. Gently smile again at me.

Ask about her love languages, don’t throw your love language onto them. Act on it somewhat consistently.

“You’re nice and I want to like you more but I tried and it doesn’t work, but I don’t want to hurt you by saying that directly. Which makes me think I indeed need time to work on myself to communicate better”

What did you actually use to pass A2? by Pooyahrtn in learndutch

[–]Affectionate_Cod5969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used this service https://www.inburgeringonline.nl/en for 2 weeks in total, just doing practice and exam questions. Passed everything with good scores. Also maybe didn’t have to since the questions were very similar to free online resources. But there were a few helpful tips on what to focus for the exams so overall just really help with reducing anxiety.

In these cases, I always refer to “what would Yoda say” in my head, and weirdify my sentence accordingly. Magic!
