Thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
We are Mark and Annemieke van Boxtel.
Together we have three children.
We look after two of them on earth, while we wait to meet our daughter up in heaven.
Joas was born on January 13, 2004 in Harderwijk, the Netherlands.
Tim was born on June 8th 2006 in Chelmsford, United Kingdom.
Our daughter Hannah was stillborn on June 1st 2009, Pontoise, France.
Since 2004 Mark works for the airline easyJet.
The first 4,5 years we lived near the airport of London Standsted, UK.
Since March 2009 we live in France.
Mark flies from Paris, Charles de Gaulle. 30 minutes from were we live.
We’ve been selected by MAF (the Netherlands) to work for them.
We're following a different journey than hoped and expected.
And now, after the death of our daughter, we wait until God speaks.
We wait until we hear the next step.

Learning a language.
We all have a trouble with all the languages we can or try to speak now.
We miss words from all the languages including Dutch. We think in 3 different languages and the only thing that helps to figure out which language we talked with who is to figure out which languages the other person speaks.
 
It' not always easy.
 
And especially not for Tim.

False friendly words

This post has everything to do with our language troubles in English and French and is really complicated to translate… But I’ll try….

 

3 Countries, 3 languages.

3 languages with lots of words.

And some of those words sound familiar but mean something totally different.


The Dutch word ‘boot’ means ship. But the English word ‘boot’ means wellies or the boot of a car.

If a Dutch person would ask: What time will the boot leave? The English man would look very strange.
