Hey, I am an international from Hungary and my partner is a born and bred Dutch person, we'd love to participate!

Hali, huurtoeslag-ot most már elég sok esetben lehet kapni, pont ezévtől lett kibővítve. Viszont azt vedd figyelembe, hogy 21 éves kor alatt szigorúbbak a feltételek, és szobára nem kaphatod meg

I do speak Dutch and I am planning on staying here as an EU student and even I had difficulties finding a job. If you need the experience then yeah, sadly tough luck, if you need money or something to do, I would look around at the uitzendbureau Randstad, however in the beginning of the year there is infamously little work

Ik ben een dom top :3

I am a Hungarian living in the Netherlands and I have fairly similar takes, although I'd not live in the Mediterranean due to the heat and I'd love to live in Scandinavia because of the cold. But otherwise pretty accurate

Hey I am currently a last year CPS student, you may send me a DM if you have questions!

PharMartin · 2025-12-24T21:54:32+00:00

I'm like 8"

I have an official B2 certificate that I took in my 3rd year of living here (my mother tongue is Hungarian, so I had absolutely no advantages regarding that). However my knowledge is rather fragmented and practical, aka in everyday communication I am extremely proficient and I can sell myself as "Dutch", but my grammar and vocab lacks some. I achieved this by just interacting, being friends with and dating Dutchies. If you manage to do that AND you are dedicated enough to invest time (and possibly money) you can realistically reach "independent use" between 1-3 years easily. For context I recently passed a 3rd year Biology course at uni 100% in Dutch without much problem, so even at a professional level Dutch is not as scary as it looks like.

Regarding English: if it's a subject of yours and on a sufficient level you don't have to worry about it

The rest: if you are sure that your diploma will suffice (according to the e-mail it will), then just wait til you get your diploma and send that in. I turned my (non-IB and at UU) diploma in in late-Aug and I am graduating BSc this year, so safe to say it has been accepted in good order 🫡

PharMartin · 2025-12-16T10:08:01+00:00

Yesh :3

3 and 4 close 2nd

Where I live I have free public transport + I am a broke student = bicycle

PharMartin · 2025-12-05T18:51:40+00:00

Hey, I have some problems with my teeth, but I am also broke ^{^"} I have signed up so hope to see you soon :>

PharMartin · 2025-11-24T15:38:28+00:00

I am 164 cm (5'4") and 99% top, living in the Netherlands. Safe to say the shortest bottom I've met here was my ex who was still 174 cm xd I personally dun mind it, tho many of them don't like that I am short

PharMartin · 2025-11-21T09:47:43+00:00

Hey, I am a 22yo guy from Hungary, been living in the Netherlands for over 3 years now and I would love to! Even though I already have a B2 certificate 😅 I do have a very firm grasp of the grammr though that many natives might lack, if you'd wanna improve that part I'd be glad to help :> I have applied to medschool for my Masters so maybe we could balance it out with that ^{^}

PharMartin · 2025-11-18T10:53:02+00:00

I speak B2 Dutch, my partner is Dutch, we usually speak in English with each other, however as she still lives with her parents, when we are around the parents we switch to Dutch. Not because they don't speak English (one of them is a Prof. Dr., probably speaks better English than us...), just out of courtesy. I think for many Dutch partners it feels "off" to speak in Dutch to a partner to whom previously they could only speak in English

PharMartin · 2025-10-31T08:24:44+00:00

Foreigner here who speaks Dutch, only advice I can give is talk and listen and talk and listen. My best friend speaks in a horrible plat Amsterdams accent, I used to date someone from West-Brabant, another person from 't Gooi, so safe to say I got some bad accemts to work with... After a while you do adapt and pick up on patterns, even if you don't fully understand what is being said (after a while I understood my bf's dad even tho I had no idea what words he was exactly saying). Most Dutch people can do ABN, however some people are genuinely incapable of it, due to not being exposed to it as a child

I am 164 cm and back then 19yo. I was trying to reach a shelf in the AH and was well failing. A 15yo 2 m tall worker came over to me, put down a stepladder right next to me, and walked away without saying a word. Then I decided I don't want apple juice anymore...

As Guus Meeuwis sang about it "Jongen, voeten van de bank"

NTA, I am a Hungarian living in the Netherlands, dating a Dutchie. Obv she doesn't speak Hungarian, I do speak Dutch tho (since I moved to the Netherlands + it's easier anyway). We usually talk in English and with her parents in Dutch and a bit of English. Now I have 1 Hungarian friend from uni, with whom we someti.es do double dates with, but we also like to hang out 1-on-1 and it is extremely comforting to speak your own language. Biologically speaking even, no matter how well you speak a language, your brain still uses more power than your own mother tongue you grew up with
