First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am learning Albanian because my partner is Albanian. I want to be able to understand a conversation between him and his family/friends and also to actively engage in a conversation. Between the two of us we speak in English, but I'm very eager to speak Albanian. My native languages are Turkish and Dutch and I am fluent in English language as well. I come from Turkish parents, but grew up in the Netherlands. I also speak French and German, but not fluent. I enjoy travelling, to wine & dine and always try to teach myself something new.
