"Gezellig", "proost", "doe normaal..." How sharp is the Dutch of international freshers? DUB put this to the test during Welcome Week. We also asked them whether they intend to learn Dutch during their studies. "I think Dutch is one of the three most beautiful languages in the world," one of them said.
