Internship Wanted!


A really funny thing happened last Friday... Beforehand, I was hopeless about having an Erasmus internship in Netherlands until I found out that I can still have it but not as an Erasmus Internship... At this point, I think I need a hand to find fields or companies in which an ELT and comparative literature student can work in summer or the procedure about the internships for Non-EU people. 

Any idea is so much valuable so all comments are welcome!
Thank you for your help in advance.



PS: Tomorrow I am uploading a video about this which means the first video is on the way! 


Stay tuned for more experiences and sharing...

LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE AS AN ADULT

Yes... For any age, learning a new language takes quite much time. If you are an
adult, consider that it is much more! I started learning Dutch as my second language 6 months ago and, I have a perfect chance to analyze second language acquisition process. I don't live in Netherlands but I go there a lot which creates an opportunity for me to get exposed to the language so much more but it is not enough for me to learn Dutch totally...  As an adult learner, I realized that I need to see rules, the structure of the sentences, the meanings of the words and etc... I always thought that I can learn it mainly by being exposed to Dutch and speaking yet, my right hemisphere is not capable to do it all. That is why my language analysis on myself became more interesting. As soon as I realized that I needed a real well-structured book, I searched on internet and found a really detailed book. (You may find the link here: http://examenmvv.ru/free-books/dutch_essential_grammar.pdf) When I looked at it, the book seemed so much confusing yet it was the best and most structured source I could find. I started to study from this book with the help of my Dutch acquaintances, however, I was struggling with the context because it was too complicated (even though it says the "essentials") to cope with as a beginner-level learner. After the struggle, I found another book from which I can study properly at the end. I must say that the name of the book is very offensive yet the subjects it covers are definitely what I was searching for.
