The likes and frustrations of Mike Smith
It's 9.30 p.m. and Mike Smith from the US has just finished his Dutch class. A plain guy, baggy trousers, short brown hair, and an open face. Yet, behind his face there is a little frustration. 'Every time I open my mouth to speak Dutch, and people hear my accent, people will want to help and start to speak English to me. And, well, when learning Dutch that really does not help!' But he smiles. 'People here are nice.'
