Hi everyone and thanks for reading this.

I'm a 28 years old guy that is about to start a course for front office check-in (Hotels) in Italy. At the end of this course they will grant me access to a stage service and I can ask to do it wherever I want to.
My question is... Since my Dutch knowledge is basically 0 (but I'm willing to learn and I'm trying to with some books, also have friends there and I'm ready to follow an intensive dutch course if needed) but my English is very good also spoken (used to work for Delta an american airline company).
What are my chances that I will get to do a stage (as in they will accept me) in Holland? I was thinking of Amsterdam since it's probably the most touristic side of Holland and most foreigns go there (or pass by), especially italians! So I thought my best bet would be there.

Anyone works in a Hotel in here? Or something? Would be really appreciated guys! Let me know thanks.

idk chance is 70%? guess u still need to speak a bit of dutch to help people out,only english is not enough. U maybe can do some shifts just to see & fee how it works but for a full stage u need to speak the langauge since not only tourists from ther country's pass by but also dutchmen them self so its kinda wierd they need to speak english to you then :p

You can still pm me if you need more help,

did you have any results with the vacancies I send you?

Speaking Dutch is no hard requirement in the catering/restaurant/hospitality industry. Although it would greatly improve your chanses if you atleast understood a bit of dutch

Dutch is hard to learn. If you want to learn it, better start asap.
