Subject: Introduction

Mar. 22, 2005

I recently joined this list as I am about to embark on learning standard
Dutch
to get a reading knowledge of the language, and perhaps a writing one too!
So
if any Dutch-speakers and -writers can help me practise and develop my Dutch
literacy it would be great.

I'm also interested in the movement to preserve Low Saxon and its
development as
a standard written language. And this is the best place to watch advances in
this as they occur, with so many speakers and writers of the language on
this
list closely monitoring, stimulating, and initiating these developments.
