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.

While your child is thriving in Dutch, you keep hitting the same wall when you enter your child’s daycare or school..

You want to speak Dutch but you don’t know how to start. So you keep speaking English.

And it’s been so many years since you last studied Dutch.

No worries my dear, I got you. You want to speak Dutch with confidence – and you know what? You can.

You just need the right tools and the right support that suits you!

Check out our Dutch for Parents course! It will teach you how to finally start speaking Dutch. Practical, efficient, and exactly what you need to start speaking Dutch at your child’s school or daycare - without sweaty armpits.

I’ll give you the tools and strategies to do this step by step. No stress. No overthinking.

See you there?

Je kent de woorden, je hebt de grammatica geleerd… maar toch blokkeer je als je Nederlands moet spreken.

Herken je dat (recognize this)?

In deze video leg ik uit (explain) waarom dat gebeurt én deel ik een simpele oefening om je zenuwstelsel (nervous system) te kalmeren.

Zo wordt spreken makkelijker en leuker! 🎤

My daughter thought my husband was saying a bad word, but it was actually just a normal Dutch word.

In this short video (in easy-to-follow Dutch (A2+) with subtitles), I share my funny story and explain why these mix-ups happen so often when learning a language.

What is your favorite Dutch word that throws you off every time?
