[FSUZeta]

I'm not sure what they do in school, but a good friend just moved to the Netherlands after marrying her Dutch husband. She has to take three years of Dutch classes if she wants to gain full rights to stuff over there. She just completed her first year and now must take a language test so she can try to get her driver's license.

that's interesting peppy,

do you know if your friends classes are paid for by the government or if she must pay for them?

I'm not sure, but I get the feeling she has to pay for them.
