Maybe you want to speak Dutch with your family from the Netherlands? Our podcast will give you the cultur…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T22:19:32.224123+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-dutch-5975282"},"episode":{"title":"Capturing Amsterdam: A Day of Canals, Cameras, and Confidence","slug":"capturing-amsterdam-a-day-of-canals-cameras-and-confidence","published_at":"2026-06-19T07:51:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-dutch-5975282/capturing-amsterdam-a-day-of-canals-cameras-and-confidence","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fluent-fiction-dutch-5975282","url":"https://www.fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2026-06-19-07-38-20-nl","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72595624/2026_06_19_07_38_20_nl_draft_episode.mp3","summary":"Fluent Fiction - Dutch : Capturing Amsterdam: A Day of Canals, Cameras, and Confidence Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2026-06-19-07-38-20-nl Story Transcript: Nl: De warme zonnestralen dansten op het kalme water van de Amsterdamse grachten.
