On November 28, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands attended the 15th anniversary of the foundation Het Begint met Taal (It Begins with Language). The foundation supports 15,000 volunteers around the country in teaching non-native speakers the Dutch language and culture. Every year, the Het Begint met Taal network brings 42,000 newcomers who want to practice the Dutch language into contact with language volunteers. The celebration took place at the Rotterdam Public Library.
