Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Dutch, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Dutch and English.

But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Holland, Belgium, or Surinam?
