learning dutch...

Today, I decided to get a head start on my Dutch homework.  It's a good thing I did...I have spent an hour working on it and I'm not even half way done.  Also, do you know how difficult learning Dutch is?  Very difficult.  Do you know how difficult it is learning Dutch using an online program and book that are only in Dutch?  Way more difficult than very difficult.  I am so thankful for Google Translate.
