Without Tim... we would speak better dutch.

This is Tim. He's from another region of our small nation called "Brabant". The population there consits of mostly farmers, except for this huge city (all things are relative, more than 200k people within 10 km² is considered "a huge city" here) called "Eindhoven". And that is, fortunately for him, where Tim's parents decided to live.

Tim has lived in Eindhoven for all his life. That is why his dutch has degraded ever since. We can hardly understand him. Still, we love Tim for who he is.

Without being able to communicate with us, Tim has a hard time giving us the same degree of love in return as we're giving him. And that's where the wine kicks is. Tim finds it a lot easier to express himself when drinking all kinds of alcoholic drinks.

But it's getting even worse. Tim's "sort of dutch" is affecting our linguistics as well. Within 8 months, Tim has changed our high standard dutch into farmers' dutch. Life will never be the same...

Tim, we love you.



Houdoe hè!
