  • Dutch Dialogues (A1) - DD097: 05 mrt — Oekraïne valt Iran aan?! Dit is next level (Rick, Tom & Julia)
    Mar 5 2026
    So apparently Oekraïne is supporting attacks on Iran now. Ja, it's getting complicated over there. In this episode, Tom, Julia and I talk about what's happening between Oekraïne, Rusland, and Iran. We keep it simple, don't worry. Tom explains why Oekraïne thinks this is a good idea, and Julia wonders if it might make things more dangerous. Gezellig gesprek, but about serious stuff. Here's my question for you: when your country has problems with another country, do you think it's smart to involve more countries, or does that just make everything erger? Remember, you're listening to real Nederlands about real news. Kleine stappen tellen! Even if you only catch a few words today, that's totally fine.

We talk about what he wears, why people sometimes think it's scary (spoiler: it's not), and how he feels about winning this title. Here's my question for you: Do you have something you wear that makes you feel confident? Maybe a favorite shirt or those comfy sneakers? This is A1 Dutch, so we keep it nice and slow.

  • Dutch Dialogues (A1) - DD085: 13 feb — Chantal zingt Limburgs?! Hoe dan? (Rick, Tom & Julia)
    Feb 28 2026

    So apparently there's a new nummer één in the Dutch charts, and it's got a bit of a bittersweet story behind it. It's called "Letste Leedje" by Lex Uiting and Chantal Janzen, and yeah, that title says it all. In this episode, Tom, Julia and I chat about why this song hit number one and what makes it zo speciaal. We keep it simple, but there's some real feeling in this one. Here's my question for you: do you have a favorite Dutch song yet? Or maybe one that makes you feel something, even if you don't understand all the words? Look, A1 is tough. You're learning numbers, colors, basic stuff. But then you hear a song and suddenly Dutch feels... echt. Real. That's when it clicks. Kleine stappen tellen, always. Lekker bezig! 🧡
