Join the online
Dutch Language Café!
Welcome to our online Taalcafé, the place where people with a Dutch language level of at least A2 meet and discuss a variety of topics. Whether you want to talk about sports, emigrating, living in the Netherlands, work, culture or politics, our Taalcafé offers a relaxed and stimulating environment to improve your speaking skills.
During the two-hour sessions you will also work on your discussion skills and presentation skills, as well as learning to give summaries and convincing monologues to further develop your communication skills.
How do we proceed?
A week before each session you will receive a briefing with preparation materials so that you are well prepared for the discussions. Join our Language Café and make new friends while practicing Dutch together!
