Descrição

Hey there!

I'm Nicolas, a software engineer who is 42 years old. I have a great family (Claire my wife, Anais my 16-year-old stepdaughter, Adam my 10-year-old stepson, Taz our cat, a lovely devil).

I'm emerging from a hard period of renovating an old village house (1900) made of stones. I spent 2 years of my life working hard every weekend, holidays, and even bank holidays... I learned a lot of skills: traditional lime masonry (lime plasters of exposed stone type, lime concrete slab, etc.), woodworking, modern insulation, tile installation, shower creation, drywall installation, painting tasks, etc.

After that, my wife and I returned to our old interests: traveling, biking, hiking. I also fell in love with the Netherlands and decided to learn Dutch. I was not good at foreign languages in school, so I am trying to take my revenge. Dutch is hard but so amazing!

Now, I'm on a mission to dive into new experiences and lend a hand where I can. I would like to improve my English (currently level B2, but lacking speaking practice), and I aim to reach C1 level in Dutch in 3 years. Maybe I won't be able to achieve it, but I will try hard! Lastly, all opportunities to immerse into Dutch culture are welcome!

Other very very important stuff:
- I love nature, animals, biking, and old architecture.
- I enjoy "oude Nederlandse kaas" and "jonge kaas" as well!
- I appreciate Belgian beers, English beers (IPA, ales, stout), as well as Texels, Jopen, and others... :-)

Thanks for checking out my profile! I hope we can connect soon and start a new adventure.

Cheers, Nicolas

Mais detalhes sobre meu interesse em idiomas
French is my native language, so I can help you learn it. I would like to speak in English to improve my skills and fluency. I'm interested in having real practical exchanges in Dutch (even though for now I'm a very beginner).
