Safety equipment

Om goed te kunnen begrijpen hoe we opzet is, kijken we eerst naar de home-pagina. Direct onder de foto van Nederland zien we een aantal video's. Als mensen voor het eerst met Nederlands kennismaken, kunnen ze met deze video's beginnen. Hier leren ze woorden en uitdrukkingen die alledaags zijn. Toon de video's en als er een groep is start dan met het overhoren. Geef bijvoorbeeld met je hoofd "ja" aan en vraag wat de Nederlandse uitdrukking is. Als je de video van het huis wil overhoren, zet je het geluid uit en bevries je steeds het beeld. Dan vraag je om het woord.
