#114 | Why you're too smart to speak Dutch (and the one thing you can do to Switch to Dutch). Dutch Podcast B1+

Je bent te slim om Nederlands te spreken.

Je schooldiploma, je studie, je masterdiploma, je PHD... Je weet hoe je kennis (knowledge) kan leren. Zo heb je ook Nederlands geleerd. Je begrijpt veel.. Maar spreken...? Oofff dat is een ander verhaal. Waarom

Because you never learned the tools for SPEAKING a foreign language as an adult. It's not your fault. You're not dumb. And you're definitely not the only one.
