> Listen in as Merel and Bas do the weekly shop for their student house in real, everyday Dutch, pairing with the themes of chapter 2 of Nederlands in actie. By the end of this course their conversation will feel easy to follow, and you'll be ready to join in.

**Setting:** A supermarket in Wageningen on a Saturday morning. Merel and Bas share a student house with four others and do the weekly shop from the list in the house app. Merel studies nutrition and reads every label; Bas lives on frozen pizza. They use je with each other, as housemates do.
