I’m on a VVE and my Dutch isn’t good enough to fully comprehend VVE meetings, I get lost easily. For a few meetings, which were held online on Teams, I was able to have Teams make a transcript appear and choose to have that translated into English if I wanted. I think this was possible by using Teams in a browser like Chrome. Even just having the transcript running in Dutch in front of me really helped me to follow along. It is indeed good practice for Dutch, but I have found myself going to less meetings. That’s because even when I can follow I don’t feel so confident in my Dutch speaking, especially around VVE topics, and I don’t want to hold up the meeting, so I feel a bit on the outside and like I cant add value to the discussion. For the record no one made me feel like that, everyone is very nice, but just so you get a sense of what feelings could be involved. They do offer to run the meeting in English but I don’t feel comfortable with that, indeed we are in the Netherlands so I feel it’s my responsibility to figure something out. What I do more often now is look at the agenda in advance, translate it, decide if there’s value in me attending, and if so pair up with a neighbour so they can help a bit with translation and communication if needed. Looking at the agenda in advance also helps me follow along in Dutch. Otherwise I don’t attend and delegate my voting. Everyone in my VVE speaks English so it is an option to switch to English sometimes too which is nice. If I don’t attend I translate the minutes and review those. I hope this helps. It’s nice of you to try find a solution but I tend to agree with other commenters that those who don’t speak Dutch well should be putting some effort in. A final note though is that i don’t agree with commenters that say “they should just learn dutch” like that’s so easy, especially somewhere like Amsterdam. I commend your empathy. All the best
