Welcome to a new episode of Praat Nederlands met me! In this interview, I have a special guest, Maartje, the mother of Jade and Linde.
Over the years, they have lived in multiple countries, and we’ve had the pleasure of teaching her daughters Dutch through Dutch for Children.
In this episode, Maartje tells about her mother and her daughters, who are raised across multiple countries—from Curaçao to Barbados to Spain. She shares her journey of keeping Dutch alive at home, the role of online lessons, and the challenges and triumphs of schooling abroad.
As a cherry on top of the cake, she also tells us about their enormous but great project in Spain, in the mountains of Alicante.
