Field Trips in Amsterdam: A Cultural Adventure for Expats and Locals

Teaching Dutch Through Immersive Experiences

As a Dutch language teacher and social organizer, I, Lisa Janssen, have always believed in the power of field trips to enhance language learning and cultural immersion. By taking my students and fellow expats on excursions to local markets, charming towns, and traditional bars, I aim to create a dynamic learning environment that goes beyond the confines of the classroom. These field trips not only provide opportunities to practice Dutch in real-world settings but also foster a deeper understanding of Dutch culture and traditions. 

Connecting Expats and Locals Through Shared Experiences

Having lived in Amsterdam for over two decades, I've witnessed the city's vibrant multicultural tapestry firsthand. Recognizing the importance of fostering connections between expats and locals, I regularly organize social activities, networking events, and field trips that bring people together. These gatherings provide a platform for expats to acclimate to their new surroundings, exchange experiences, and build meaningful friendships with locals.
