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? Maybe you want to speak Dutch with your family from the Netherlands? Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in Dutch-speaking countries.
