About
Are you living in the Netherlands and finding it difficult to speak Dutch with confidence?

Have you tried apps, self-study or language courses, but still hesitate when it's time to have a real conversation?

Join language expert Sofia Karfi, founder of Language and Motivation, and experienced Dutch teacher Sophia Beis for a practical webinar that explores why so many expats struggle to speak Dutch.

• Why adults can learn Dutch successfully at any age.
• Why speaking Dutch often feels much harder than understanding it.
• The four most common mistakes that keep learners stuck.
• Why pronunciation and speaking practice are the keys to greater confidence.
