In this deck, you will learn how to express your likes, dislikes, and preferences in Dutch. You will practise giving your opinion on activities and places, expressing emotional fondness, and ranking choices using degrees of preference. These spoken patterns will allow you to share what you enjoy and what you would rather avoid.

To give a personal evaluation in Dutch, use the verb 'vinden' followed by the activity or object and an evaluative adjective. For example, 'Ik vind fietsen leuk' means 'I find cycling fun'. If an activity is dull, you can use 'saai', as in 'Zij vindt tennis saai', which means 'She finds tennis boring'.

To ask someone for their opinion, use 'Wat vind je van' followed by the place or thing you are asking about. For example, 'Wat vind je van Amsterdam?' means 'What do you think of Amsterdam?'. A common response is 'Ik vind het heel mooi', meaning 'I think it is very beautiful'.
