B2 Upper-Intermediate Dutch

At B2, the language starts to feel real. People joke and say things you won't find in any book. You can follow long talks about easy and hard topics. You can also tell how the person feels: are they joking? Are they mad? The hard part now isn't the words. It's what's under the words: the hidden meaning, the jokes, the way a person's voice changes what they mean. Notice not just what people say, but how they say it. Pick videos with one person telling a long story or arguing. Watch how their voice and words change over time. Don't judge too fast. Your first guess is not always right.
