If your Dutch learning isn’t going as smoothly as you’d hoped (you know, everyone speaks English) and you’re feeling isolated from local news events or other happenings (who the heck is Verdonk, anyway?), it’s nice to know where to get some of that information in English, if that is your native tongue.

Expatica to the rescue: they provide some Dutch news in English. Although the translations aren’t always fabulous, you can get the gist of what is happening in NL, even when surrounded by an international community.
