How Dutch Online Works: Learn Dutch Step by Step With Exercises, Webinars, and Personal Support in the Netherlands

Discover how Dutch Online helps expats in the Netherlands learn Dutch: structured A1–B1 lessons, live webinars, and WhatsApp support for real progress.

The three building blocks of Dutch Online

Learn Dutch online in the Netherlands with a proven mix of e-learning, live webinars, and personal support, from A1 to B1.

📚 E-learning platform

Our online Dutch course takes you step by step from A1 to B1. Each lesson includes interactive exercises in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Designed for expats in the Netherlands, the e-learning platform is practical, Dclear, and aligned with the DCEFR language levels.

🎓 Weekly speaking classes

Every level has one live speaking class every week: A1, A2 and B1. You can practice speaking, ask questions and review tricky grammar with an experienced Dutch teacher.

Learning through your company? Then you also get an extra company class, while still being welcome at the weekly sessions.

💬 WhatsApp & direct support

Stuck on Dutch grammar, pronunciation, or a technical issue? Ask your question via our WhatsApp helpline and get a quick, personal answer from our team. You’ll receive the WhatsApp number directly in your welcome email.

E-learning platform - Course cards

Learn Dutch step by step, at your own pace

We recommend starting with A1, no matter your background. The repetition ensures you don’t miss any crucial basics. In every course card you can take quizzes to check if you’ve mastered the content.

Our platform is built with course cards, each belonging to a CEFR level:


 - A2 has three parts: 
       - A2 Dutch - Part 1: The Past, the Present and the Future

At the end of each level, you receive an official Dutch Online certificate.

Want to practice freely? Use the A1 Endless Practice course card, where you can quickly review exercises and repeat what you need.

E-learning platform - Lessons

Every lesson within a course card follows a clear structure:

 - An overview of the things you'll learn
 - New vocabulary (words you’ll use in daily life).
 - Verbs, grammar, and sentence building explained simply.
 - A text that uses the new words and grammar,
 - Listening, reading, and writing questions.
 - A short quiz to test your knowledge at the end of the lesson.

As you progress, you’ll meet more repetition from earlier lessons and gradually more words:

 - A1 covers around 700 words, plus common everyday phrases.
 - A2 expands to 1,500 words, preparing you for deeper conversations.

Of course it’s not just words: the necessary grammar is introduced in a logical way, exactly when you need it. This makes Dutch Online structured, practical, and easy to follow.

To make learning easier:

Every word, sentence, and text has audio, so you can listen to the correct Dutch pronunciation.

Color coding highlights different word types, helping you recognize and use them in context.

With this method, learning Dutch becomes structured, practical, and effective, so you can move step by step from A1 to A2 with confidence.

Weekly speaking classes

Write your awesome label here.
We host one live speaking class every week, open to all learners with a full access subscription. 

It is your moment to practice real Dutch, ask questions, and build confidence together with one of our teachers.

Very soon this will expand into weekly sessions for each level, so you can join an A1-only class, an A2-only class, or a B1-only class every week as your Dutch grows.

Always welcome

You can join the weekly class no matter your level. The teacher gives level-friendly ways to join the conversation so everyone can participate.

If you are learning Dutch through your company, you may also get an additional company-specific session on top of the regular weekly class.

Clear schedule

You always know when the next class is.
Recordings and schedules are shared in advance so you never miss out.

Interactive format

Our speaking classes are not lectures.

You actively participate in:
• A short grammar or theme explanation
• Real conversation practice
• Breakout rooms where you speak Dutch in small groups
• Fun activities such as Kahoot to test what you know

This format makes it easy and low-pressure to start using Dutch, not just learning it.

The best of both worlds

Weekly speaking classes give you the motivation and accountability of live interaction, combined with the structure, depth and flexibility of the e-learning.
It is the fastest and most enjoyable way to make progress with Dutch Online.
