I accepted the job offer

Can you believe it? I got the formal offer letter today. I accepted it without any second thoughts. I am moving to the Netherlands next year.

Finally the job hunting is over. After 2800 job applications, I cracked the EU job market as a non EU citizen, thrice.

Congratulations! I was wondering about your progress.
Although basically everyone will speak fantastic English, do learn some Dutch.
It's the most similar to English as any foreign language could be, which is helpful.

I did learn some dutch through duolingo :)

I find the grammar is not that incredibly difficult, german is much worse. But it's really hard to get used to dutch gluttal sound. Also everytime someone speaks they sounds like about to have a sore throat whenever the letter G appears.
