The Tangerine Circle 小橘圈 is a Mandarin-speaking family group for those raising children between cultures in the Dordrecht / Drechtsteden area. Our Chinese name, 小橘圈 (Xiǎo Jú Quān), carries a playful sound while also echoing 小聚圈 (“small gathering circle”), perfectly capturing the spirit of our warm community and close-knit gatherings. We are parents who want our children not only to hear our language—but to live in it, play in it, and remember it as part of who they are. We gather with the simple joy of sharing stories, singing songs, building friendships, and holding space for each other.

This is not a class or event. It's a small circle for those who long for connection through language, culture, and community.
