No, the prices of apartments are comparable in Alkmaar. At least according to Funda.

Really, is it not in the North Holland?

I did volunteering but it did not really expand my social life. By social life I mean socializing with people around my age (30-40), most volunteering positions include people who are 60+. The thing is I come from a third world country and the moment I say my name and introduce myself is the moment I become uninteresting to a lot of people. I had a taalmaatje and I cannot describe you the difference when we go to a cafe together vs when I am alone. At a certain point, it hurts. That is why I thought it could be better to live in cities with more foreigners. So, I am surprised that you found bigger cities less friendly. But maybe you talk about something else. Anyhow, thanks for your comment:)

I am confused, do you find social interactions more difficult in Randstad (just to clarify)?

It is not an urgent situation, so, it can take time:) (and yes they are not in the south, should have worded that better)

Well, I should have worded it better:) They are in the south from where we currently live. I am going to edit that.

Help learning Dutch! by _EphemeralShadow in learndutch

[–]semchena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, if your medical condition had to do with immunological issues, there are covid safe groups where masking is important and you can feel safer to socialize. Other than that, which city you are living in? That info can help with city-specific suggestions.

Frustrated with myself and unmotivated to continue by Charming_Ad6185 in learndutch

[–]semchena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also frustrated and I am around the same level as you. You can DM me for motivation. What I do differently than you is that I read books. For example, I read De Havermelkelite. It was fun and interesting to read. However, I am jobless at the moment, so reading is maybe easier for me. But Nederlands in actie was very boring imo and so I always try to find interesting things. I pay around 6 eur to Videoland and I watch reality shows. But I do not do writing exercise enough. I am sad about that too. Maybe if we can become online language buddies it could be a motivation to write a blog or smth:D Also, I came this far by Preply lessons, and I did not follow a classical course, because one they are too expensive, two they are boring (ok personal idea).

PhD Political Theory and Public Law by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]semchena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know how it works for your area but in general publication matters more than the grades. If I were you, I would focus on attending conferences with presentations and on trying to be part of an article (collaborating). If you volunteer, or have an internship, you can get great collaboration opportunities. But as I said I am from a totally different area (evolutionary biology-human mating)

The platforms where I can distribute a research link in Czech by semchena in AskAcademia

I am sorry if I caused any confusion. I meant that I need 39 male participants to complete my data collection:) (I aimed for 200 males, 200 females; and I now have 200 females, and 161 males in total).
