Dutch Conversation

We are a small group of Dutch heritage with various levels of Dutch language proficiency. We meet weekly in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere to converse in Dutch. The ability to understand spoken Dutch is necessary. No Dutch instruction is provided but gentle assistance is offered if welcomed. Beginners are given an opportunity to practice speaking. Taking turns to speak and not interrupting is essential to the purpose and success of this group. Conversation topics are typically spontaneous and vary widely ranging from current affairs to Dutch culture and memories or a special interest topic. We take turns bringing a Dutch treat to nibble on while we drink tea or coffee. Participants are welcome to join at any point during the term. Regular attendance is not necessary. We accept everyone into this class.
