I was 8 when I moved from Germany to the Netherlands and had to learn Dutch then.
As a child, you are super flexible. Within a year, I was fluent in the language. I can still remember that proud feeling when friends and teachers said to me: hey, you really speak Dutch now! It felt like overnight. At home, I still spoke German until I was 16. Then we switched over there as well.
I can master languages and accents quickly. At school, I also really excelled at languages. You can't tell from my English where I'm from either.
Dutch, English, German and some chunks of French.
I had wanted to do that very much. But it didn't work out for me. It takes quite a bit of discipline. I think it was also harder for me because I have lived in NL for so long. That's why we started using the app now. My eldest also really wants to learn German and English.
It's funny how the first language you learn becomes the starting point in your mind. I have lived in Nl. for 34 years. And yet I still regularly use German words and sounds. Which my husband likes to joke about :)
