Hi Dutch community!
Learning a language isn’t just about grammar rules and vocabulary lists. It’s about understanding the stories, traditions, quirks, and shared references that shape a culture.
To dive a little deeper into typical Dutch culture, we have written two new blog posts for you:
Dutch Love Affair with ‘Drop’ (Liquorice)
Why do the Dutch love liquorice so much? Sweet, salty, dubbelzout… this blog explores one of the Netherlands’ most iconic (and divisive) treats.
What Do You Know About the Elfstedentocht?
A legendary skating event, a national obsession, and a symbol of Dutch winter dreams. Even when it doesn’t happen, it still lives on in the language and culture.
Curious about the Netherlands beyond textbooks? These blogs add a bit of flavour (and ice!) to your language journey. Enjoy reading!
