Why speaking practice matters for Dutch

Many Dutch speakers switch to English the moment they hear an accent, which makes practice hard in real life. A Dutch room is a place where everyone stays in Dutch.

Dutch is spoken by about 25 million people in the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Suriname and the Dutch Caribbean.
