#12 | Sinterklaas en (Zwarte) Piet - Dutch Podcast B1+

In this episode (in Dutch!) we talk about Sinterklaas en zijn Pieten: the tradition of 'schoen zetten', de stoomboot en de cadeautjes. I also share with you my view on Zwarte Piet as a child and how I feel about the changes that have been made to this kinderfeest. There is also a guest appearence from Pieter (my husband) en together with Cato (my daughter) we sing 'Zie ginds komt de stoomboot'! Veel plezier met luisteren!Liefs, MariskaPS.
