My Great Grandpa immigrated to the US when he was a kid from Holland by himself, and worked in the mines until he met my grandma and they got married. I don’t know a lot about his story or why he did not share a lot about his past but he did not pass on the Dutch language or the culture. I am really interested in bringing the language back into my family. I am married with 3 kids and my husband is from China. I have also been learning Mandarin for the last 7 years. I’m hoping to connect with a native Dutch speaker so that I can improve my language skills, we can share culture and be friends!
