Dutch Speaking Academy - Speak Dutch with Confidence
Stop hesitating. Start speaking Dutch with confidence.
Hoi, ik ben Mariska. I’ve been teaching Dutch since 2013, helping internationals overcome their fear of speaking Dutch. Many of you live in the Netherlands for years but still rely on English. I help you break that habit and feel at home here.
In this podcast, I share practical tips to speak Dutch in your daily life, and mindset shifts to help you start speaking Dutch—without stress or endless studying.
Ready to stop hesitating? Start listening!
