Babel

nl Nederlands is mijn moedertaal.
en-3 I have an advanced level of English.

Theo Assen (Arnhem, Netherlands). I focus primarily on news from my home country, and secondary on world-news. I'm interested in politics, history and economics. You won't find me writing much on science, sports and entertainment. Please be patient, and check my contributions since English is not my primary language.

Mail me at thaxlesemail.com for any questions or comments.
