One of the best ways for international knowledge workers and their families to settle quickly and easily into life in the Netherlands is to learn the language.
An important aspect of learning any language is the opportunity to practice speaking. The name of our campaign - Praat Nederlands Met Me / Speak Dutch With Me – reflects this and aims to encourage locals and internationals to speak Dutch together.
Our buttons provide a way for internationals to let people know that they would like to speak Dutch with them, and our bags and umbrellas are covered with handy phrases in Dutch and English to assist them.
To help launch our Praat Nederlands Met Me campaign, we spoke to 4 internationals and asked them why they wanted people to speak Dutch with them. Thank you to Ryan, Sampurna, Kateryna, and Carolina for participating in our videos! Check out what they have to say on our campaign page.
