    Dutch Kies je morgen de blauwe jurk voor het feest? Hij staat je beeldig.

    Will you choose the blue dress for the party tomorrow? It looks lovely on you.

  2. Anna
    Dutch Ik kan nog niet beslissen. Als ik de rode droeg, zou ik me misschien te formeel voelen voor de gelegenheid.

    I can't decide yet. If I wore the red one, I might feel too formal for the occasion.

  3. Lars
    Dutch Ik bevestig de afspraak zodra ik de e-mail van de planner ontvang.

    I'll confirm the appointment as soon as I receive the planner's email.

  4. Anna
    Dutch Goed. Heeft zij al gereageerd op je eerdere bericht? Ze heeft het deze week erg druk gehad.

    Okay. Has she replied to your earlier message yet? She has been very busy this week.

  5. Lars
    Dutch Nog niet. Ik bel haar misschien vanmiddag gewoon om te checken of alles in orde is.

    Not yet. I might just call her this afternoon to check if everything is okay.

  6. Anna
    Dutch Dat klinkt slim. Apropos, ben je van plan binnenkort te verhuizen naar een nieuw appartement?

    That sounds smart. By the way, are you planning to move to a new apartment soon?

  7. Lars
    Dutch Ik denk erover na. De huisbaas zei dat hij volgende maand toch de huur zou verhogen.

    I'm thinking about it. The landlord said he would raise the rent next month after all.

  8. Anna
    Dutch Als ik jou was, zou ik snel andere wijken gaan verkennen. Goede appartementen worden snel verhuurd.

    If I were you, I would quickly start exploring other neighborhoods. Good apartments rent quickly.

  9. Lars
    Dutch Klopt. Kun je me dit weekend helpen wat advertenties online te bekijken?

    Right. Can you help me look at some ads online this weekend?

  10. Anna
    Dutch Natuurlijk. We kunnen samen zoeken en ook een paar plekken bezoeken.

    Of course. We can look together and visit a few places.

  11. Lars
    Dutch Briljant. Ik print vanavond de adressen uit zodat we georganiseerd zijn.

    Brilliant. I'll print out the addresses tonight so we're organized.

  12. Anna
    Dutch Perfect plan. Ik denk dat je heel snel iets geweldigs gaat vinden.

    Perfect plan. I think you will find something great very soon.
