<p> s sssss</p><p>Taalblad.be now going two years</p><p>For two years now, anyone who wants to learn Dutch through simple news texts has been able to find everything they want on www.taalblad.be. The website www.taalblad.be has gown substantially in its second year too: on average 4000 readers go for their virtual language immersion on taalblad.be. There they find articles in clearly legible Dutch, with news from Flanders, Belgium and the world. Difficult or special words are explained in more detail and given a translation in French and English. This allows the non-Dutch speaker to clearly understand the texts and broaden his vocabulary. There is also a grammar guide and lots of exercises. </p><p>You can now also listen to Dutch on taalblad.be. 'Radio Taalblad' regularly publishes listening material related to an article. It is usually a telephone conversation with someone who can say more about the subject involved. For example we interviewed Kristien Hemmerechts when we discovered that some of her stories were published again in simple Dutch.</p><p>Editing, development and the promotion of taalblad.be are funded by the non-profit making organisation 'de Rand', via its resources for language promotion.</p><p>For more information, contact Koen Van Kelecom, inventor and chief editor of taalblad.be: [email protected]</p><p>0494 12 98 37</p>
