No Dutch please, we're British!

This is an English language work shop and so we speak English only. If you don't know a word in English, just ask the teacher or say the Dutch word. You always need to try and speak English. That way your English will improve.

House rules

1. Raise your hand if you want to speak or have a question.
2. Listen to each other. Be quiet when someone else is talking.
3. Be kind and don't laugh at others for trying.
4. No gaming/social media unless the teacher says so. 
5. Orange slide is explainer, Blue slide is a question.
