Very timely - I cycled through the tunnel last weekend! I didn't even know it existed!

My recent post Birthdays and half-birthdays

Thanks for this update! I am one of those dreaded people who has put off doing my inburgering, mainly because my gementee won't pay and has no classes subsidised, and to be perfectly honest I just can't stomach the portfolio. I finish my Master's next week and as my Dutch still isn't good enough to find local work, I reckon I'm going to have to bite the bullet and start studying properly (I haven't had proper classes since Australia). My problem is I travel for work, so I can't commit to regular classes. So I might have to stick to self-study or perhaps get a tutor.

I was planning on going for the staatsexamen but now with the portfolio gone, I might attempt inburgering first. The time has finally come! :P
