Target
Non-native speakers meet a voluntary language coach for a longer period (on average one year). Through informal contact with a Dutch-speaking fellow citizen (language coach) the non-native speaker learns to speak and understand Dutch better. Moreover, they learn more about Dutch society and find their way easier. It is also possible to get or give help with reading and writing.
What happens after your registration?
You are invited for an introductory meeting. After the interview you know what is expected of you. If you want to work at SamenSpraak, we will link you to a foreign-language person.
Method
The participant and the language coach meet once a week. They speak Dutch together. Everything that the foreign-language needs is discussed. The conversations are about daily life, about work, hobbies or politics or other shared interests. The contact lasts an average of one year.
Support
The support is in the hands of staff volunteers at the office of Gilde Amsterdam SamenSpraak. Every quarter there is telephone contact between staff and language coach. They also organize introductory courses and intervision meetings. In addition, volunteers can follow the training that is offered at Language for Life.
True
Throughout Amsterdam, not neighborhood-specific.
