The #1 Pain Point

The English Trap

The most common frustration: Dutch people switch to English the moment they hear your accent. Here is how to actually break out of it.

This is the signature challenge at A2-B1. You can survive in English, but you want real belonging. The moment you try Dutch, people switch back "to be helpful".
