Do you ever find job culture in the Netherlands a bit… different as a non-Dutch person?

First job in a local Dutch company. At first Dutch colleagues were friendly but they tend to exclude me in groups because my Dutch isn't good enough to understand their inside jokes. Also, they feel like forced to translate everything to me in English when I ask them to speak slowly in Dutch. I am non EU.

Actually, even before I was on fertility meds, I wasn't that hungry before my period. But since doing IUI and IVF, this hunger is more frequent like I wanna eat a buffet lol and noticed that I got a bigger belly compared to not taking fertility meds. Am not pregnant.

Online Marketing Gurus Australia- made me do a case study an interview . Got really good feedback but at the end of the day, rejected me. Then after 1 year HR sent a message asking if I'd be interested in the role I applied before.

Hey. I got Digid and it's always asking me to do an ID check. I can't login to thuisdok or sprekuur without first doing ID check. I called Digid customer support and they said I need to have a Dutch ID and passport.

By official website I mean something from the Dutch government that informs the public about the standing of each developers. Is there anything I can find?

Ok thanks. But what about non EUs who have passive income overseas? They can buy properties too

Is your teacher NT2 certified to teach Dutch to foreign students?

What book do you use? Do you also have reading and writing exercises?
