I plan to be spending a lot of time in Holland due to the new businesses I’m involved in (and that there are fantastic coffee shops in Amsterdam of course) so I thought I’d learn to speak Dutch. I have a smattering of French from my school days, but I’d hardly call myself bilingual.

Searching on the web brings a bewildering array of options that all seem to be ‘proved to be the best’, so I was wondering if any of you fine fellows have learned a second language successfully, and what method worked.

I’m mid-40s so my capacity to learn ain’t that of a school kid!

Cheers good sirs!
