Well, I would like to live there, so learning the language is important in that aspect.

Well, I studied horse training at university. I also have a pre-law degree (as preparation for law school).
I do speak some Dutch, and I can understand quite a bit of it, but my accent is terrible. I'm still working on it. It's difficult to learn Dutch in the United States, as it's not a common language.

The Netherlands has amazing horses. Anky is the top Dressage rider in the world and has been for years, and she's based in Erp.
I did not make it to Den Haag, but I want to move back over there and attend the University of Utrecht to get my Master's degree.

No, my family is mostly in Doetinchem, Ravenstein, and Den Haag. I was in the south for an internship riding horses. I was in Maastricht for Carnival, which was quite a bit of fun.

Ah. Ok.
My mother was born in the Netherlands, hence the question-asking and general interest in anything Dutch.

Where in the Netherlands are you from? I was down in Limburg for three months, near Maastricht.

Welcome to INTJf. I hope you enjoy your experience on this forum :-D
