In this special episode of Praat Nederlands met me, I’m switching roles: from host to guest! I share my personal journey of living abroad as a Dutch mother — from raising my children in countries like Spain, Curaçao, and Aruba to founding Dutch for Children, an online language school supporting Dutch expat kids worldwide and international children in the Netherlands.
Tune in as I talk about the joys and challenges of keeping the Dutch language alive across borders, what inspired me to start a flexible, personalized online school, and why maintaining your child’s connection to their language and culture matters so deeply.
Whether you're a Dutch family abroad, an international parent raising multilingual kids, or simply curious about bilingual education, this episode is filled with insights, relatable stories, and practical tips.
