Hi!
I am looking for a native English speaker I can talk with to improve my English speaking and writing. In exchange I would be happy to help you improve your Dutch (Dutch is my first language). I can understand English pretty good (I think), but my writing and speaking needs improvement.
Looking forward to get in touch with you!
Cheers,
Marcel

Unfortunately, my Dutch is not yet to the point I could even remotely hope to carry my side in such an exchange, however I can help you with one thing, right away: That should have been "I can understand English pretty well" or "My understanding of English is pretty good."marcelv wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 11:22 am Hi!

Not to worry. It's a grammatical error many native English speakers often make. Here's an explanation of which, "good" or "well," is appropriate in which context, and why: Good vs. Well
For English readers learning Dutch: There is no such distinction. "Goed" is used regardless. "Dat ziet er goed uit" - "That looks good." "Ik voel me niet zo goed" - "I don't feel well." "Goed gedaan!" - "Well done!" "Goed zo!" - "(That's) good!"
I hope this helps
Mijn excuses dat mijn Nederlands nog niet zo goed is

Re: Looking for a native (US) English speaker who wants to learn Dutch
My mother tongue isn't English, but almost, as I've learnt it with family since I was a child. I can't start exchanging in Dutch right now as I'm still to get a half-decent grasp of the language, and as I'll regularly go abroad this winter to take my boss in places like this property in Southern Cyprus, but by spring, I think I'll be able to take part in such a deal!
