I'm sorry for my hair! It was still drying and it was drying up weirdly and it was distracting me and I should just have stopped the video and do something about it! 🙈 Curly girls will understand!

SCRIPT FOR BEGINNERS:
Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with my Dutch homework.
Today in class I learned about: [het eten]
And I learned to make simple sentences, such as: [ik eet vandaag pizza]
My homework is to ask a few of my Dutch friends: [wat eet jij vandaag?]
So I was wondering if you could answer that question for me 😊.
Please remember that I’ve just started learning Dutch, so my Dutch is
at elementary level at the moment. Please keep your sentences
very, very simple, like the sentence in my example.
Just speak to me like I’m a 4-year-old 😉
Alvast bedankt!
SCRIPT FOR (PRE-)INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS
Hey,
Because I’m still learning Dutch, I would love to practice my conversational skills with you.
My teacher has instructed me to insert a [20 minute] Dutch time into my day.
During this time, we will strictly be speaking Dutch and not switch to English please 😉
I do need to ask you to speak in very, very simple sentences with me.
Just act like I’m a 4-year-old 😉
If there’s anything that’s too difficult, we can just write it down and move on, so that we don’t get stuck on anything.
Would you be willing to do a [20 minute] Dutch time with me sometime soon?
Alvast bedankt!
