voor nederlands # 1 – for english # 2
U heeft 1 gedrukt : Mijn professor-in-weglogging Pietel liet me weten dat bloggen in het Nederlands me beter afgaat. De bollen-van-bobonne kunnen enkel in het Nederlands zo tot de verbeelding spreken. Zit ik hier m’n tien eerste dagen aan het bloggen en dan wordt taal plots een issue. Sorry, ik bedoel kwestie.
