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