In Touch with the Dutch Western expatriates in the Netherlands Period of 9 months From touristic outings to a drink in a cafe Benefits of contact with a local host Better able to interact with the Dutch More knowledge about the Netherlands 13
In Touch with the Dutch I certainly do tell things about the office, but a lot of things I ve learned about the Dutch I learned more from watching how the host family interacts with their kids, how they interact with their neighbours, how they serve their meals and have coffee, and snap the cookie jar shut. 14
