Dutch Lessons

I STARTED THIS PROJECT ALMOST 8 YEARS AGO. THE IDEA WAS TO MEET VARIOUS NEEDS. FIRST OF ALL I NOTICED THERE WERE MANY HISPANIC INMIGRANTS IN AMSTERDAM. WHO LIVED ISOLATED AND DID NOT INTEGRATE INTO THE SOCIETY. MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. AS MOST OF THEM CONSIDERATED DUTCH VERY DIFFICULT, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN. SO I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE OFFERED DUTCH CLASSES IN SPANISH. THEREFORE, SINCE I AM SPANISH TEACHER AT THE BUSSINES SCHOOL. I ASKED MY STUDENTS TO VOLUTEER TEACHING DUTCH, WHILE THEY COULD ALSO PRACTICE THEIR SPANISH, THIS WAS THE IDEA. HELLO, I AM LINDA, AND I HELP WHITH THE DUTCH CLASSES, IT IS ALL DONE BY VOLUNTEERS, AND IT IS REALLY FUN. HI, I AM JENNIFER, I COME FROM COLOMBIA, I HAVE BEEN TAKING DUTCH CLASSES FOR A MONTH AT THE CENTRO CULTURAL DE HISPANOHABLANTES. I ENJOY THIS CLASSES.... NICE PEOPLE HI, I AM AZIZ BELRHOUCHE, I AM 20 YEARS OLD. I COME FROM AMSTERDAM. I STUDY INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND LANGUAGES WHITH SPANISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. I LIKE THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I CAN GET TO KNOW NEW PEOPLE. AND I CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LANGUAJE AND THE CULTURE. THIS PROJECT IS BASICALLY A "WIN-WIN" SITUATION, AS BOTH PARTIES BENEFIT. I ALLWAYS SAY TO MY STUDENTS, THAT IT IS GOOD FOR THEIR SPANISH AS WELL AS FOR THEIR SOULS. LET'S GIVE A BIG APLAUSE TO THE TEACHERS.
