Learn to speak Dutch by putting it into practice! That’s the idea behind the Language Café.

Do you find it a little difficult to have a conversation in Dutch,
and would you like to practice together with others? In the Taalcafé you can do just that.

Join a small group of people together with a volunteer, and practice talking Dutch. Talk about anything you like;

- parents evening at your child’s school,
- a birthday party you’ve been to,
- a visit to the supermarket;
anything you like.

And it’s in a relaxed environment, with none of the pressures of a learning programme.
