Description

OLE's Multilingual Café comes to you: This interactive forum introduces participants to Curaçao through its national language, Papiamentu. After an overview of the island’s history and multicultural roots, most of the session focuses on actively learning basic conversational phrases. Through guided practice, participants will gain confidence in greetings, introductions, and everyday expressions. No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity and a willingness to speak.
