Lots of phone calls and letters to and from relatives in Holland. I am often reminded that most of the newer generations will prefer to speak English with Americans, and the older generations welcome the practice.

My grandparents - Mijn Oma en Opa. I always wanted to speak more Dutch with them but they were hesitant to teach me because of their "country slang".

We learn recipes/stories/words/phrases while cooking Dutch food with my Oma (grandma) on holidays and birthdays. We discuss stories often from her childhood during WWII (she first learned English from American soldiers in Holland).
