• #109 | If queen Máxima can speak imperfect Dutch... So can you (Dutch podcast for B1 level)

  So… I watched a clip of Queen Máxima the other day. She was answering a journalist’s question (in het Nederlands) and you know what? She made mistakes. Our Queen. Small ones. De/het stuff. Word order. The usual 'Dutch mess'. And I loved it.This episode is for every international who’s still holding back from speaking Dutch because it’s “not perfect yet”. Here’s the deal: Máxima had top-tier language training, years of experience, and STILL makes mistakes. And yet - she shows up. She speaks.And so should you.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Why speaking imperfect Dutch is better than staying silent.- How to keep going when your brain freezes mid-sentence.- How to stop listening to the mean voice in your head (and turn up the volume on your inner cheerleader).- What to do when people judge your accent or grammar (because YES - they will).- How to shift from “not good enough” to “I said what I needed to say. Period.”Expression beats perfection. Every. Damn. Time.🔥 Want to feel that for yourself?Join the Switch to Dutch LIVE Workshop on Wednesday, July 2nd at 19:00.One powerful evening of real practice, real motivation, and finally speaking the way you want to speak.Tickets are limited. Sign up now via: https://dutchspeakingacademy.nl/switch-to-dutch/ Find me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dutchspeakingacademy/Or drop a comment below — I’ll get back to you. Listen to this episode any time you need a nudge, my dear. You’re not here to be perfect.You’re here to finally start speaking.🧡 Don't forget to rate this podcast and subscribe 🧡Liefs,Mariska
