In-person Italian and Dutch language exchange in dordrecht
CIAO! Taalcafé | Italiano & Nederlands Language Exchange
Meet new people, practise the language you are learning, and help others practise yours in a relaxed and guided language exchange.
A guided language exchange
☛ Practise Italian or Dutch in a relaxed and supportive environment.
☛ Take part in guided activities designed to get everyone talking and interacting.
☛ Meet other language learners and exchange languages, experiences, and ideas.
☛ Build confidence using a foreign language while helping others practise yours.
More than just a language exchange
CIAO! Taalcafé is a 90-minute language exchange for people who want to practise Italian or Dutch while meeting others who are learning a foreign language too. You'll use the language you're learning and, in turn, help someone else practise yours.
The language exchange is suitable for learners who already have a basic knowledge of Italian or Dutch (A1+ or higher) and would like to put their skills into practice in a relaxed, social setting.
We meet once a month on Saturday mornings. Upcoming dates:
• 24 October 2026
• 21 November 2026
• more to come in 2027
Practise a language, meet people, connect
Learning a language is not only about vocabulary and grammar. It's about having conversations, making connections, and finding the confidence to use the language with real people.
At CIAO! Taalcafé, you'll meet others who have also chosen to learn a foreign language and who understand the challenges — and the rewards — of that journey. You'll practise together, support each other, and share the experience of learning and using a new language.
It's a chance to step away from textbooks and language apps and actually use the language you've been learning.
Guided by native-speaking teachers
CIAO! Taalcafé is hosted by two experienced language teachers: Nomad Teachers Giovanna and Peter, native speakers of Italian and Dutch.
Their role is to guide the session, create opportunities for interaction, and help participants feel comfortable using their target language. With prepared activities and conversation prompts, you'll never be left wondering what to talk about or how to get the conversation started.
The result is a relaxed but purposeful language exchange where everyone has the opportunity to participate.
