I think people are familiar with Netherland educations here, so I hope it is not out of line to ask these.

Is there teaching-oriented academic position in Netherlands, similar to liberal art colleges in the U.S.? Primarily I am looking for small class size and in-person interactions between undergrad and professors.

Do they accept English speakers for teaching positions? I am willing to learn Dutch, but it would take me years to be fluent.

This is something that the western European model of having no upper yearly intake limit makes really hard. Even at a masters level it's quite hard to get a decent degree of interaction between students and professors.
