I recently completed all my A2 exams and now I want to get better with my conversional skills since I’ll be applying for my citizenship soon here, so I want to immerse myself more and pay respect to the country, culture by being able to talk fluently in this language. I know it takes time but I’m ready to work hard

Some points-
- every time I speak in my broken dutch, people often switch to English:(
- none of the children’s show works for me, so I need recommendations on something that’s mature yet understandable with my A2
- i like to read so I tried children’s book but again I got bored 🥱

Absolutely overwhelm me with your netflix recommendations, i have also prime and books please

And i will be forever grateful 🙏🏼

Hi!

I have recently started learning Dutch and I am currently trying to learn telling time in Dutch, which is kind of confusing 😄

I was wondering if native speakers drop “uur” in spoken language like dropping o’clock in English.

“Ik moet van 09.00 tot 17.00 uur werken”

Would you drop uur here in spoken language?

Van negen tot vijf werken
Van negen tot vifj uur werken
Van negen uur tot vifj uur werken

Ik heb vandaag als leerkracht bij een klas meegekeken. Ik was super zenuwachtig en enthousiast. Ik begrijp bijna alles maar ik kon niet spontaan praten dus ik wil graag met iemand in het nederlands regelmatig praten. Wil er iemand met mee praten?

Hey guys, beginner Dutch learner here. Just wanted to share a quick breakthrough I had with subclauses (word order) that might help anyone else coming from an SOV language background.
I spent the last 10 years speaking advanced Korean, and when I first started Dutch, things like 'omdat' or 'als' were completely breaking my brain. I was stuck in this annoying double-translation loop: I'd make a standard sentence in my head, and then manually drag the verb to the end because of the conjunction. It completely killed my speaking speed.
Then it clicked—why am I overcomplicating this? My brain is already wired for Korean, which is a natural Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) language where the verb is always at the end anyway.
So instead of shifting verbs around twice, I just flip into my "Korean brain" the second a Dutch conjunction drops.
Instead of thinking: "I'm tired because I [worked] all day -> wait, move it -> because I all day [worked]."
I just jump straight to the SOV structure like in Korean (내가 하루 종일 [일했기] 때문에).
It seriously skyrocketed my processing speed. Has anyone else used this kind of shortcut to conquer Dutch grammar, or are there hidden traps with this mindset later

Is there a language center or someone who can teach me dutch?! 📍Morocco Casablanca
