Learn Dutch

Taalcafé: learn to speak Dutch by putting it into practice!

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