The Secret Life of Words
Some Dutch words can't be translated. Others seem ordinary but carry a world of feeling. When you start noticing them, you discover that language isn't just a tool: it's a landscape.
Learning Dutch with Kindness
When you learn Dutch, it's easy to be your own harshest teacher. You correct yourself constantly, apologise for mistakes, and sigh when you forget a word. But what if kindness, not perfection, is what makes you fluent?
At first glance, Verliefd op Bali is exactly what you expect it to be: a sunny, feel-good Dutch film about love, family, and second chances. It's light, it's cheerful, and it doesn't pretend to be anything more.
The Quiet Power of Repetition
Repetition may sound dull, but it's actually one of the most powerful and gentle tools for learning Dutch. The secret is not how much you repeat, but how mindfully you do it.
