Don't let learning Dutch limit you
Discover a structured way of learning, get a grip on your Dutch and boost your language skills.
If you don't keep up your practice with Dutch...
Then you probably never will be fluent in Dutch, have extensive conversations or get a grip on the Dutch grammar. It’s like wanting to be in a better shape, but then never work out. You have to exercise your body to become fit. Just like you have to exercise your mind to become better at Dutch.
I’ve always loved learning and languages. I’ve always wanted to learn them and I am good at them too. Yet, I am surrounded by people who proclaim that learning a language is hard. That they never get their head around Dutch, that they just don’t have enough time to learn it and that they doubt themselves if they ever will progress.
And I get it. When I am with my partner’s family and they speak very fast with hundreds of words coming my way, wondering why they now say this, when I learned something else before; I would run away too. There was even a point where I would say: I’ll just give up. It is too hard to learn anyways. We can speak English instead.
But that’s where I was wrong. Even though family members could speak English, their mothertongue wasn’t and they would go back to it. I had the idea that I had to put in hours of learning to get a grip on the language. Thoughts like “I will never be able to have a conversation with them”, “What’s the point”, and “why is this so hard” were continously on my mind.
These thoughts completely stopped my progress in learning a language.
The main part of your frustrations and blockages of learning Dutch are due to limited beliefs.
Maybe you recognize this:
You are convinced that learning Dutch is hard and takes a long time.
You base your progress on whatever you know and learned so far.
When looking at your diary, there is never a marked spot for learning Dutch.
Having conversations you find difficult, because you switch back to Dutch or don’t have anyone to practice with.
You think learning Dutch is too time-consuming and frustrating.
You are convinced that you will never properly understand Dutch.
Your ability to learn a language like Dutch should be a tool to have a deeper connection with your family and culture.
A Dutch learner with the right, strong learning skills:
– Is focused on their progress and growth.
– Has clear goals on what they want to achieve and experiences peace instead of stress.
– Doesn’t put their head down, but is optimistic.
– Doesn’t limit their Dutch based on fear and frustration.
– Has created routines and habits to improve Dutch on a daily base.
– Constantly discovers new and better ways to understand Dutch.
– Is open to learning and seeing patterns.
Everything changed when I realised this one thing.
My frustrations and insecurities disappeared when I realised this was blocking me to progress in learning languages. I went back to my childhood and discovered the difference between my classmates who hated languages and found them hard and me where language learning seemed to easy. I had the curiosity and motivation to learn it, instead of drilling all the vocabulary, I saw patterns to memorize words better, and most of all I had fun learning languages.
That combination became my new habit for learning languages, and the heart for teaching Dutch to my students. I found the joy back into learning, made immense progress and even when I hadn’t spoken the language for a while, I would pick it up very quickly.
Practicing it on a routine basis became easy, I love speaking the language of locals, I am not afraid to make mistakes and I have great ways to learn new words and understand the grammar. But most of all, I had the help and guidance of native teachers who can help me to truly understand the language, the real way of speaking and their culture.

As seen in:
"To be able to successfully hold conversations in The Netherlands without it breaking into English. I am definitely able to say now that I can "speak Dutch". This was my goal and it is the foothold I needed before moving."

In the Dutch Membership, you'll find:
Interactive Video Lessons
Just like my students are used of me, these are video classes of high quality with visual aids and pleasing content so you can learn Dutch the fun way. The videos are sorted on category (grammar, verbs, vocabulary, etc.) and are also diverted in the different levels (A1, A2, B1, B2).
Audio Tracks on Repeat
One of the hardest things is listening. Us Dutchies can speak quite quickly and we have different accents, so it is really good to familiarize yourself in listening more Dutch. Listen to them as much as you want and you can even slow them down if you need to!
Exercises for listening, speaking, reading & writing
After each video lesson you will be able to practice many engaging exercises to really upskill your Dutch!
Private Community

The membership officially opens on July 1, 2023. At this date you will receive 8 different lessons, plus many exercises, audio tracks, games and quizzes that you can practice with that month. Every 1st of the month you will receive an email to gain access to new material. You can always retake lessons and exercises and enjoy the bonuses and tips that will accumulate in the membership.
This membership contains interactive and visually attractive video lessons that aid your Dutch lessons. These are full lessons and exercises you can do on your own. You can also practice with others on what you have learned. These lessons are based on commons difficulties, questions of the week and many other things that you and other students really need to become an authentic Dutch speaker! Every month you will receive an email to get access to new content. This will be in the same section so you can easily see what is new for you that month. Then it will be stored in the specific categories so you can practice and learn whenever you please.
The golden rule is: the more you practice, the better you will get. Ideally you want to spend some time every day to get used to the language. That may mean playing one game, watching one video, learning some new words. I also understand that we are all busy. I suggest you plan in at least 1 to 2 hours a week in your diary to spend on your Membership lessons.
Most of the course is self-paced and you can go through all the material whenever you please. However, there will be live Q&A sessions in the near future where you can practice your Dutch live with me and ask any questions that you have.
The membership is on a monthly or yearly subscription base. As long as you are subscribed, you will have access to the content and lessons. The subscription will automatically renew, but you can cancel your subscription at any time before your month or year ends.
Yes I do! You can book in a private lesson at any time you feel you want and need more practice. Have a look in the introduction section to book in your 1:1 lesson with me.

I have been teaching many happy students for over 5 years. As a polyglot myself, I know and understand the struggles of learning a language. On top of that, I am a certified teacher and life coach. I know everything about mindset and the way the brain works. This all combined together, I’ve found the perfect formula to learn a language.
On top of that, I truly believe in making learning as easy and as fun as possible. Students who work with me know this and love this most about me. They love my jokes, making the material relatable, my great tips and tricks, my enthusiasm and most of all my patience.
I teach Dutch, because I love languages and culture. Because I am patriotic and love my background. But most of all because I love helping people and am a great teacher and guide to help you see the structure of the Dutch language and become better at your own practice every day. This course is unlike every other course you’ve seen. It’s complete, it’s fun, it’s understandable.
