      it's cool you're taking Dutch! I'm a native speaker in Dutch Dutch (from the Netherlands) and I end my e-mail with a formal "Met vriendelijke groet" (kind regarts) or less formal "Groetjes" (regards). hope this helped you!

          haha, I love Dutch too, but there are a little too many rules [correction: there are way too many rules and I wish you luck :)]

          No problem, glad I could help you!

            There does seem to be a lot of rules, from what I’m learning! (Ah yeah, thanks for that, it makes more sense like that!)

            Yeah, I’m glad you took the time! It means a lot!

      Veel succes! (That shouldn't be too hard, I hope 😄)

      Yeah, in the Netherlands, people end their e-mails with "Met vriendelijke groet" (singular) while in Belgium, they use "Met vriendelijke groeten" (plural). Means the exact same thing and I don't know where the difference comes from, but there you go!
