IamExpat, in cooperation with Leiden University’s Language Centre, offers a Dutch language course for FREE!

About the competition

A language reflects the history, culture and worldview of its native speakers. Learning a new language gives you access to a new culture and provides you with a wealth of information about the country and its people. Of course, this is also true for the Dutch language.

Competition: What do you consider to be the most characteristic Dutch word, phrase or proverb that reflects the Netherland's current culture and worldview? Please cite the example you have in mind and explain in English why you find it informative.

Please send your reply together with your name and phone number to:
Talencentrum[at]hum.leidenuniv[dot]nl
by December 19, 2013!

Submissions will be assessed on:
› originality
