30/06/2009Expat Voices: Learning Dutch (video)

Leah talks with Jennifer Niejadlik, Richard Morris and Graham Jackson about learning Dutch. Recorded in the Wintergarden at NH Grand hotel Krasnapolsky, Amsterdam. Produced in collaboration with Expatnl.com.

Learning Dutch for expats isn't easy in most cases. Not only is the language difficult, but expats complain that when they attempt to speak Dutch to a Dutch person, inevitably they receive a reply in English. Add to this the Dutch government's move to make immigrants take more responsibility for learning the Duch language (read Learning Dutch is a must which has around 90 reactions so far) and you have the recipe for a lively debate.
