Learn Dutch: Meestal werken we thuis. - Usually we work at home.

In Dutch, the active verb must almost always be the second block of information in a main sentence. Because this sentence starts with the time word meestal (usually), the verb werken (work) has to come immediately next to stay in that second spot. This pushes the subject we into the third spot. This swapping of the subject and verb is called inversion.

Can I say We werken meestal thuis?

Yes, you can! If you start the sentence with the subject we, the verb werken stays in the second position, and meestal comes after it. Moving meestal to the front of the sentence like we did here just adds a little extra emphasis to the word 'Usually'.

Why does this sentence use thuis instead of huis?

Huis is a noun that means a physical building (a house). Thuis is an adverb that means 'at home'. Because you want to express the concept of being at home, you must use thuis.

Why is werken in its full dictionary form here?

In Dutch, plural subjects like we (we), jullie (you all), and ze (they) use the plural form of the verb. For almost all verbs, this plural form is exactly the same as the full infinitive (dictionary) form, which usually ends in -en.
