New life for language teaching
The government has set aside €11m to fund a new experiment to get older immigrants speaking Dutch.
The cash is to be used to couple immigrants with a native Dutch person to boost their knowledge of the language.
Some 500,000 people do not speak adequate Dutch, integration minister Ella Vogelaar says.
