#57 | Why you shouldn't expect a 'last-minute' dinner invitation from the Dutch (and other Dutch related topics)

In this interview I did with Michelle Weber from House of Peregrine (in English!) we talk about how I became a Dutch teacher, my teaching philosophy, Dutch culture around food and trying to speak Dutch when you're an international parent with Dutch speaking children.

And yes, we also talk about why you shouldn't take it personal when you're not invited over for dinner.

Liefs! Mariska

PS. Would you like to speak more Dutch?

This podcast is for internationals living in the Netherlands who understand Dutch but struggle to speak it confidently. We talk about language confidence, fear of making mistakes, perfectionism, and how to start speaking Dutch more often in daily life.
