• Dutch Dialogues (A2) - DD076: 09 feb — Minderheidscoalitie wil sterker Europa (Rick, Tom & Julia)
    Feb 22 2026

    So apparently there's talk about a minderheidscoalitie wanting to build a stronger Europe. Klinkt serieus, right? But don't worry, we keep it gezellig and A2-friendly. Tom, Julia and I chat about what this whole "nieuw gezag in Europa" thing actually means. We break it down in simple Dutch so you can follow along without your brain hurting. Here's something to think about: do you think smaller countries like Nederland should have more to say in Europe, or should the big ones lead? Interessant, toch? Look, politics isn't everyone's favorite topic, but understanding these conversations? That's how you really learn a language. Kleine stappen tellen! And you're doing amazing by just showing up and listening. Lekker bezig! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 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
