Talking About Your Weekend in Dutch – Dutch Conversation Practice (A2)

Описание: Learn how to talk about your weekend in Dutch! 🗣️ Listen to six different Monday morning conversations between colleagues — from beach trips and barbecues, to busy weekends with kids, mountain biking, DIY projects, city trips to Belgium, and even lazy weekends on the couch.

This A2-level Dutch conversation covers how Dutch people really talk about their weekends: asking follow-up questions, sharing stories, describing activities, giving opinions, and making small talk at work. Each conversation shows a different type of weekend, so you hear a wide range of everyday vocabulary.

Perfect for expats and A2-level learners who want to join in with Monday morning small talk at the office!
