In this deck, you will learn how to make social arrangements in Dutch. You will practise proposing plans, negotiating where and when to meet, and accepting or declining invitations politely. This will help you organise get-togethers smoothly with friends and colleagues.

To propose meeting up or making a plan, the Dutch verb 'afspreken' is used. With 'zullen we', you can suggest getting together on a particular day. For example, 'Zullen we zaterdag iets afspreken?' means 'Shall we arrange something on Saturday?'.

You can also use 'zullen we' to propose a specific activity. 'Zullen we vanavond koffie drinken?' means 'Shall we drink coffee tonight?'. To suggest going somewhere, put 'gaan' at the end: 'Zullen we naar de film gaan?' means 'Shall we go to the cinema?'.
