Learning a foreign language opens new doors and new perspectives in life. Did you know that among the benefits of language learning is the ability to manage problem-solving tasks easier or the strengthening of your memory function and creative thinking?

In Netherlands, it’s polite to greet people when you enter certain situations. For instance, when you walk into a waiting room at the doctor’s office, it’s customary to greet others with a simple “hallo” (hello) or “goededag” (good day). When leaving, you can wish people “fijne dag” (have a nice day) or “dag” (goodbye).

The Dutch communication style is open and straightforward. Dutch people value honesty, so they’re known to be frank and speak their minds.
