Dutch Dialogues A1: News

So apparently Macron is going to give a big speech about nuclear strategy in Europe. Sounds serious, right? But don't worry, we keep it simpel and gezellig. Emma and Sophie are talking about what they heard in the news, and Rick joins in to help make sense of it all. We practice some useful words and keep things at A1 level, so you can actually follow along. Here's my question for you: when you hear nieuws in Dutch, do you try to understand every word, or do you just go for the main idea? Both are totally fine, by the way! Remember, kleine stappen tellen. You're doing great! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Full transcript + oefeningen: https://dutchfluency.com 🌷 Tulip Trainer: https://tulip.dutchfluency.com 📊 Dashboard: https://dashboard.dutchfluency.com 🎧 ALL DUTCH FLUENCY PODCASTS: 📖 Short Stories: 🟢 A1: https://open.spotify.com/show/4b0uNMBJkiXvRy7UzHYSme 🟡 A2: https://open.spotify.com/show/0PFmkqcCMdT07HXpYJkXCq 🟠 B1: https://open.spotify.com/show/7u0D4Ucl4iPJLha28soq07 💬 Dutch Dialogues: 🟢 A1: https://open.spotify.com/show/3GG9LxfX11s6JLIRE5dGbF 🟡 A2: https://open.spotify.com/show/51hF6peS6DuXiZMMe8N0H4 🟠 B1: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zsBuz9UoRWJN0W24fU4Gz 📰 News Stories: 🟡 A2: https://open.spotify.com/show/3utK4u1YQBtHWMjXCD0HTJ 🟠 B1: https://open.spotify.com/show/4hyQamyd04vwEUYq4CdOAo 🎵 Dutch Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3nJdrBe9KSZ1mEO0550GVJ
