Dutch Dialogues (A1) - DD125: 06 apr — Brult de nieuwe paus als een leeuw?! (Rick, Emma & Lars)
lundi 6 avril 2026 • Durée 03:42
So apparently we're talking about... viewport settings? Haha, nee joh, that's just some website code that snuck in there. What we're ACTUALLY discussing is way more interesting: the Pope's first Easter message and a big football match where Feyenoord might accidentally make PSV champions. Tof, right?
Emma and Lars chat about these two topics, and you'll hear how Dutch people talk about Pasen and voetbal in everyday conversation. Nothing fancy, just gezellig praten.
Here's something to think about: do you follow football at all, or are you more into other sports? Or maybe you're like "Rick, I just want to learn Dutch and eat bitterballen"? That's totally fine too!
Remember, you're listening to A1 Dutch. If you catch a few words here and there, you're doing amazing. Kleine stappen tellen! Check the transcript if you need it, practice a bit, and before you know it, you'll be understanding more and more.
Lekker bezig! 🧡
Dutch Dialogues (A1) - DD124: 03 apr — Geen Duitsers met Pasen?! Rick snapt het ook niet (Rick, Emma & Sophie)
vendredi 3 avril 2026 • Durée 03:14
So apparently vakantiehuisjes in Nederland are getting way more expensive this year. Especially around Pasen (Easter). And guess what? The Germans, who normally love coming here, are saying "nee bedankt" because it's just too pricey.
In this dialogue, I chat with Emma and Sophie about why everything costs so much more now and what that means for Dutch vakantie plans. We keep it simple, use everyday words, and yeah, maybe complain a little bit like proper Nederlanders do.
Here's my question for you: Do you prefer spending vakantie at home or going somewhere else? And if prices keep going up, would you just stay home and make it gezellig there instead?
Listen, I know A1 can feel overwhelming sometimes, but you're doing great. Kleine stappen tellen! Every word you learn, every sentence you understand, it all adds up.
Goed bezig!
Dutch Dialogues (A1) - DD123: 02 apr — Hoe tel je 1 miljard mensen?! (Rick, Emma & Lars)
jeudi 2 avril 2026 • Durée 05:24
So apparently India is doing the biggest volkstelling in the world right now. That's a census, basically counting everyone in the country. Can you imagine? We're talking over a billion people!
In this episode, Emma and Lars chat about how this whole thing works. They're pretty impressed by the scale of it all, and honestly, so am I.
Have you ever been part of a volkstelling? Here in Asia, I've seen how different countries do it. Some send forms, some knock on your door. What's it like in your country?
This episode is perfect for practicing your Dutch listening skills. Take it rustig, pause when you need to, and remember: kleine stappen tellen!
Lekker bezig!

Dutch Dialogues (A1) - DD122: 01 apr — Baas van Air Canada spreekt geen Frans?! (Rick, Emma & Lars)
mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 03:34
So apparently the big boss of Air Canada had to step down because... he doesn't speak French. Ja, echt waar!
Emma and Lars talk about why this is such a big deal in Canada. French isn't just "nice to have" there – it's actually super important, especially for someone running the national airline.
Here's something to think about: Have you ever been in a situation where not speaking the local language made things awkward? Maybe at work, or even just ordering koffie?
Look, we all start somewhere. This guy probably wishes he'd taken those French lessons seriously, right? But hey, that's exactly why you're here learning Dutch. Kleine stappen tellen!
Goed bezig with your Dutch today! 🧡
