Dutch, Dogs & Charity
Remember last newsletter? Where I wished we could
skip spring with its awful weather and go to summer right away? Well, my wish
was granted and I learned to be
careful what you wish for ;)
However:
So I decided to just enjoy this weather for as long as it will last and share my favourite summer activity with
you all: a long walk in the forest with my dog Mister. (I will call my next
dog 8k, so I can walk 8k every day ;-)
Here is the plan:
Dutch & Dogs,
Thursday August 1st in Hilversum
8 k walk
10:00 - ?
Minimum: 3 participants
For dogs, dog owners & dog lovers
€5,-
pp (which will be donated to Sandy, a
helping dog to be) + your own drinks at a cafeteria halfway, where the dogs
can drink water as well.
No speaking assignments,
just free conversation.
Full goodie bag for dog & owner
afterwards!
There will be two groups:
one group of people who would like to speak Dutch (native speakers and students) and one group for English speakers (native and
students)
Will you join us?
If you can’t make it this time, but you would like
to do something for Sandy,
you can register for a fun
day with your dog in Naarden (August 25th).
This day is not organised by me, but Mister and I will join the brain work part.
One last tip for dog owners: this year will be
your last chance to swim with your
dog in the outdoor swimming pool in Laren (de Biezem). Exact
date will depend upon the weather. And you & your dog can swim all year
long at Erkemederstrand.
A walk with
(Dutch and/or English) speaking assignments but without dogs:
Walk & Talk
August 6th,
10:00 - ?
Walk along Naardermeer
from Bussum to a nice restaurant, where we will
take a taxi or bus back to Bussum.
€15,- pp of which €7,50
will be donated to Prince
Fluffy Kareem
+ your own meal &
travel expenses
Minimum: 3 participants
Bring your backpack and walking boots ;-)
There might even be a goodie bag!
For those of you who don’t like to/cannot walk, I have organised a Game Night (August 6th) in “our” restaurant
in ‘s Graveland (19:15 – 21:30):
A professional game player will bring his favourite games for
more advanced speakers
I will have a board game about Holland/Dutch for
more beginners and New Amigo’s for a mixed language group
(Dutch/English)
The chef will provide a simple meal that is suitable for eating while
playing, but you can of course have a regular (delicious) dinner in the
restaurant before the games start.
Minimum: 3 participants
€5,-
+ your own meal
Please register before showing
up, so I can notify the chef ;-)
You can find more
courses here.
Of course, the lessons will be
outside as much as possible:

Enjoy your summer!

vriendelijke groet,
