Ask Me Anything about Speaking Dutch Like a Superwoman
We’re overachievers, multitaskers, and business builders – but when it comes to speaking Dutch, it can feel like all our superpowers vanish.
Instead of stepping into the room with confidence, we freeze, get frustrated, or end up apologizing – again – with "Sorry, I don’t speak Dutch." Whether it’s been a month or 15 years, Dutch can feel like our kryptonite.
This time, we’re doing things differently.
🎙️ Special Guest: Mariska van der Meij
Mariska is the powerhouse behind Dutch Speaking Academy – a language teacher, coach and mother of 3 - who has been working with high-achieving internationals like you, for over 12 years. She understands why so many of us shrink in confidence when speaking Dutch, and created a method that’s not only effective but empowering – helping women ditch fear and find their voice in the Netherlands.
🛠️ How it works
After signing up, you’ll receive a link to submit your personal questions or challenges related to learning and speaking Dutch with confidence. These can be shared anonymously if preferred.
We’ll also guide the conversation with questions like:
– Why do I freeze when I try to speak Dutch, even when I know the words?
– How can I practice Dutch without feeling judged or switching back to English?
– What can I do when I’ve lived here for years and still feel stuck at beginner level?
– How do I overcome the fear of sounding “silly” or “unprofessional” in Dutch?
You can join the session live to ask questions or just listen in – either way, you’ll gain real, relatable strategies from someone who truly understands the journey.
