A taste of Dutch office life
Knowing how a Dutch office functions can help international staff find their feet more quickly and feel more confident in their daily activities. In addition to improving their Dutch, a Taalthuis course also makes sure they learn about Dutch office customs such as:
- Lunch = sandwiches: Forget the hot meals - lunch in the Netherlands usually means two slices of bread with cheese or peanut butter and some veggies.
- Vrijmibo is sacred: The Friday drinks are a Dutch tradition - informal, relaxed, and perfect for practising new language skills.
- Say it like it is: Dutch directness isn’t rude, it’s efficient. Your team will learn how to understand and use it with confidence.
