Average time to first full Dutch conversation
You are not bad at languages. Standard apps and textbooks just don't prepare you for real-world Dutch conversation in Amsterdam, Utrecht, or Eindhoven.
01 / Obstacle
A 365-day streak but you freeze when your Dutch colleague asks about your weekend in the office.
02 / Obstacle
You build up the courage to order in Dutch, hesitate for a second, aaand… "Would you like something to eat as well?" Straight back in English, before you've even finished. We Dutchies love showing off our hard-earned English, without realizing we're robbing you of the practice you need. Sincere apologies, I promise to make it right.
03 / Obstacle
You can already navigate work, banking, and doctor's appointments in English. So finding the daily urgency to push through an uncomfortable learning curve feels impossible, and frankly unnecessary. Together, we'll manufacture that urgency and find what actually motivates you.
04 / Obstacle
What if I make a mistake? What if I pronounce a word wrong?! What if I don't understand the answer?! These mind traps are exactly why speaking a new language feels scary. I'm here to help you fight them, through real practice, in a safe space full of humor.
Built specifically for international professionals and expats living in the Netherlands.
01 / Solution
Sorry to break it to you: Duolingo and books make good listeners, not talkers. What you need, my friend, is practice. Actually using that thing on the bottom third of your face. 80% of every lesson is active speaking, not passive drilling.
02 / Solution
"The monkey lives in the jungle." Fun fact, not a sentence you'll use anytime soon. We'll focus on relevant scenarios you can use the same day you learn them. That way you start conversations sooner, and freeze up less once you're in one.
03 / Solution
Learning only really sticks when it's either interesting or necessary. That's just how motivation works. So we'll find your learning style, build lessons around what you actually care about, and create just enough urgency to keep you moving.
04 / Solution
Yes, yes, I know. Dutch can sound like one long throat-clearing contest. During our lessons, I'll help you find your way through the extravagant maze of Dutch sounds.
We'll assess your level, identify your biggest obstacles, and build your personal Dutch fluency roadmap — no strings attached.
"Hi, I'm Simon. In 30 minutes I'll find out exactly what's blocking your Dutch — free, and no strings attached."
