I'm retired. I need conversation practice. I'm interested in sailing, classic boats, walking, classical music and, dare I say it, politics. I'm on the left. I'm a graduate and wrote for a living and am interested in language. I speak BBC English. Could there be any Dutch person who wants to fine tune their English skills and who would be patient with my fledgling Dutch? Ok, I know you're all the world's best linguists, but surely somebody wants to put the icing on the cake?
