In the Dutch language café we practice holding conversations in Dutch.
Everyone who wants to learn Dutch is welcome. The Dutch language cafés take place every Wednesday evening. Each meeting has a specific topic. For example, the news, health or (volunteer) work. We talk about that, sometimes with the help of a short video or images. We also often do role plays.
Groups are formed on site that have approximately the same language level.
