Hi

I would love to hear from others who've made the move to Amsterdam and their experience.

I'm wondering if I put my energies into finding a job or spending 3 months learning Dutch through an intensive Dutch school.
Or is it possible to find work in Amsterdam speaking English only?

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Wendy
