#123 | Teaching the Dutch... to help YOU speak more Dutch (Dutch podcast for B1)

In this episode, I share something that even surprised me: my Switch to Dutch method doesn’t only work for internationals… it works for Dutch people too!Last week, I gave my first workshop for a group of Dutch language enthusiasts. I did an excercise with them that confirmed everything you experience when you try to speak Dutch: tension, panic, searching for words, a body that shuts down.In this podcast, you’ll hear:why your body freezes when you try to speak Dutchwhat Dutch people feel too when they try to speak another languagehow they can support you better than you thinkthe simple adjustments Dutch speakers can make to help you succeedhow you can start this conversation with Dutch people around youand the moment when my entire mission “clicked”: you – teachers – Dutch people.Send this to your favorite Dutchie so they can help you with: simpler language, slower pace, more patience… If you want my guidance to finally speak Dutch with confidence - without switching back into English - join Dutch Speaking Mastery. New groups start in February.https://dutchspeakingacademy.nl/mastery/Let me know what you think of this episode.
