Geen Nederlands?
I speak Dutch like Yoda, but write it like Chewbacca
Ok, I have lived here, in the Netherlands, for over 20 years. I am so proud to have a Dutch passport and represent the Netherlands in the World Plogging Championships. So it is a bit of an omission to not have the site in Dutch, right?
​
And you are absolutely right!
I am sure it will make getting Dutch sponsors so much harder.
​
But, just like I am proud to say No A.I. , I need to be honest and say my written Dutch sucks.
I am happy reading it, and replying to Dutch emails, but I need to reply in English
​
When I write in Dutch, I make a small typo and then autocorrect turns it into something completely different. And that would detract from the message I want to convey.
​
I am happy speaking and having conversations in Dutch.
I am happy to give talks to clients in Dutch.
My passion will always shine through.
​
But if I write in Dutch, it will lose focus on the topic and the subject matter. And that is the moment important element.
​
International
I also don't want to limit myself to the Netherlands. Trash has no border.
I know that because I often pick up trash from different countries (and other countries will pick up Dtuch trash too!)
So I can reach more people in English.
