‘ Vertel es was voor mij de brug tussen mij en de buitenwereld. Ik voelde me ontzettend onzeker over mijn Nederlands, ik was eenzaam en op zoek naar een veilige omgeving om de taal te oefenen en verbinding te maken met mensen. Door Vertel es heb ik die ruimte gekregen. Ik vind de ervaring heel erg waardevol en gun het iedereen die met alle problemen van immigratie aan het worstelen is.’ - M. M., maart ‘25
