Dutch Group Classes for A2+ Students

Improve your conversations skills to a higher level so that you can have a say in Dutch conversations.

Confidently bringing input into Dutch group conversations

Are you someone with a Dutch partner, Dutch roots, or perhaps planning to move to the Netherlands? Or maybe you’re just ready to speak Dutch more confidently and connect with others?

You’ve learned some Dutch, but when it comes to speaking in real conversations, you still feel unsure. Maybe you can understand basic sentences, but you freeze up or feel left behind in group conversations. You’ve tried to push through, but something’s still missing: the confidence to speak on harder topics and participate fully in discussions.

That’s exactly why I created the A1 to A2 Dutch Mastercourse with live Zoom group classes.

In this course, we’ll take your Dutch to the next level by focusing on real, practical conversations. You’ll not only learn how to understand more complex sentences, but you’ll also practice speaking in real-time with me and other learners, giving you the support and confidence you need to keep up in conversations.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Live Zoom Group Classes: 20 live sessions where you can practice speaking, get feedback, and ask questions. You’ll be part of a supportive community of learners working towards the same goal.
  • Real-Life Dutch: We’ll focus on authentic, everyday Dutch that you’ll actually use with family, friends, and colleagues.
  • Step-by-Step Structure: Clear lessons that break down grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary in a way that makes sense.
  • Boosted Confidence: Each lesson is designed to help you build the confidence to speak more naturally and comfortably in group conversations, without feeling lost or rushed.
  • Active Practice: With regular speaking practice in live Zoom classes, you’ll be able to keep up in conversations and respond smoothly, even when the topic changes quickly.

In just six months, you’ll feel confident participating in conversations on more complex topics, making connections, and truly enjoying speaking Dutch. Ready to take your Dutch to the next level? Let’s get started!

You are able to happily express yourself in Dutch in daily and authentic conversations.
