What an honor to be interviewed by @nafissn.bsky.social for Trouw about the role the Dutch language has played in shaping my migrations between the PNW and the Netherlands. For the Dutch speakers out there, check out the beautiful text Nafiss made from our conversation. www.trouw.nl/binnenland/h...

Het Nederlandse woord ‘natuur’ maakte diepe indruk op universitair docent Kate Huber. ‘Iedereen ervaart het anders’
Schrijver en filmmaker Nafiss Nia vraagt nieuwe Nederlanders welke woorden ze hier als eerste leerden en welke hen bijbleven. Deze keer: ‘natuur’, ‘kom terug’, ‘eigenlijk’ en ‘gewoon’.
