# Nederlands in gang 3: A round at the café

**Language:** Dutch  
**CEFR Level:** A1  

> Join Elif and Joost for a round of drinks at a café in Haarlem, one short conversation at a time, pairing with the themes of chapter 3 of Nederlands in gang. Each lesson trains your ear until you can follow every word and answer back.

**Setting:** A brown café near the Grote Markt in Haarlem on a Friday around five. Elif comes up to the bar from a table of friends with news: she has just passed her driving test. Joost owns the café, works the bar himself and knows her. They use je with each other from the first line.
