Courses · reading · news
Dutch courses that feel natural.
From A2 to B1, built by a teacher who ships.
Audio stories read by native speakers. One theme a week: a longer story with the full Dutch text, then five short scenes that reuse the same words. No filler, no fake credentials. Just Dutch you can use tonight.
Step 1 · 12 weeks
A2 Foundations
Twelve everyday themes, one a week: small talk, the market, the café, the supermarket, cycling, finding a place to live. A longer story to sit with, then five short scenes that turn the same words into reflexes.
Included in every planFirst story free
Step 2 · 2 bridge weeks + 12 weeks
B1 Intermediate
For when you get by, then freeze when it gets real. Two bridge weeks retell the first A2 themes at B1 level, then 12 new ones: the pharmacy, the office, the bank, Dutch directness, making Dutch friends. Longer stories at native pace.

Teacher, maker.
For years, designing a Dutch course meant writing plans other people might never feel. Now every story and pack is something I can make, use and refine in days, closer to craft than to a content factory. That is the point of Dutch Fluency: tools you can actually hold, not decks about learning.
Rick · native speaker · Dutch Fluency
Are the courses video or audio?
Audio. Every episode is a story read by native Dutch speakers, with the full Dutch text and tap-to-translate.
Which course should I start with?
Take the free level test and it tells you where to start. If Dutch spelling and sounds are new to you, begin with the reading method. If you can follow simple everyday Dutch, start with A2 Foundations.
What do the courses cost?
They are included in every plan: Weekly at €7 a week, or a 12, 24 or 48 week pass for €67, €120 or €200, paid once.
How long does each course take?
A2 Foundations has 12 weekly themes. B1 Intermediate has 14: two bridge weeks and 12 core weeks. You move at your own pace.
Can I try a course first?
Yes. Once you are signed in, the first story of each course plays for free, and so do the first episodes of every news pack.
