Dutch Dialogues (A2) - DD124: 03 apr — Duitsers laten vakantie afweten, Rick snapt het niet (Rick, Emma & Lars)

About this episode

Emma and Lars discuss the rising costs of vacation homes in the Netherlands and the impact of fewer German tourists during Easter.

So apparently vakantiehuisjes in Nederland are getting way more expensive this year. Like, a lot more expensive. Especially around Pasen (Easter). Emma and Lars are chatting about why this is happening, and here's the ding: the Germans aren't booking as much as usual. Normally they're everywhere during the holidays, but now? Not so much. And that's making things interesting for Dutch families trying to plan a weekend away. Here's what I'm curious about: when prices go up like this, do you still book that huisje by the beach, or do you just stay home and make the best of it? Maybe invite some friends over, lekker barbecueën in the tuin? This episode is perfect for practicing your A2 listening. We keep it slow, we keep it real, and yeah, you'll pick up some handy words about vakantie and geld along the way. Kleine stappen tellen, mensen. Just press play and see how much you understand. You got this! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Full transcript + oefeningen: https://dutchfluency.com 🌷 Tulip Trainer: https://tulip.dutchfluency.com 📊 Dashboard: https://dashboard.dutchfluency.com
