Café Combinne
Having a pleasant chat in Dutch: "Café Combinne" is a playful name for a multicultural discussion café where everyone speaks the same language. We sit down around a table and engage in enjoyable conversations with one another involving everyday things, not difficult or abstruse topics.
If you would like to perfect your Dutch, Café Combinne is a great opportunity to use it in practice. You also meet others who live in your village and come into contact with other cultures.
