A Personalized Dutch Podcast
Built Around Your Life
Most Dutch learning podcasts are about someone else's topics. Jouw Podcast is about yours. Your job, your hobbies, your neighborhood, your news. In Dutch you can actually use.
From €0.97/day. Less than your morning koffie.
Why a Personalized Dutch Podcast Works Better
Here is the problem with generic language podcasts: they teach you Dutch about topics you will never talk about. You learn the vocabulary for a story about a random dog walker in Friesland, but you still cannot explain what you do for a living at a borrel.
A personalized Dutch podcast flips that. Every episode is built around your life. If you are a software developer who cycles to work and follows Formula 1, your episodes will be about coding culture at Dutch companies, bike routes in your city, and Max Verstappen's latest race. The vocabulary you hear is the vocabulary you actually need.
This is not theory. Research consistently shows that language learners retain more when the content is personally relevant. When you hear Dutch words in a context that matters to you, your brain latches on faster. Stap voor stap, the language becomes yours.
How Jouw Podcast Works
Four steps. Your podcast. No quizzes, no placement tests.
Subscribe & book
Pick your plan and book a 30-minute Zoom intake call with Rick.

Your job, your hobbies, the news you follow, the Dutch situations that stress you out.

Within days, fresh episodes land in your podcast app. About your life, at your level.
Keep listening
New episodes every day. Your podcast evolves as your Dutch improves.
The 30-Minute Intake Call
This is where the magic happens. You hop on a 30-minute Zoom call with Rick, and you just... talk. Not a test. Not an exam. A conversation. Rick asks about your daily life, what you do for work, what frustrates you about Dutch, what topics you would actually want to listen to on a podcast.
Based on that conversation, Rick builds your personal podcast profile. He assesses your level (no guesswork, no multiple choice), identifies your weak spots, and maps out the topics that will keep you engaged day after day. The result is a podcast that feels like it was made by a friend who knows exactly where you are in your Dutch journey.
Many subscribers say the intake call alone was worth it. Even before the first episode drops, you walk away with a clear picture of where your Dutch stands and what to focus on. Goed bezig, before you have even started.
What Makes a Personalized Dutch Podcast Different
Your topics, not theirs
Episodes cover what you actually care about. Your city, your work, your interests. You never waste time on irrelevant vocabulary again.
Your level, precisely
Not a rough A1/A2/B1 estimate. Rick listens to you speak and calibrates exactly. Episodes evolve as you grow.
Daily consistency
A fresh episode every day, right in your podcast app. No logging in, no scheduling. Just press play on your commute.
Two feed options
Jouw Podcast Open lands on Spotify, Apple, and all major platforms. Jouw Podcast Privé gives you a private feed with expanded voice options.
Is a Personalized Dutch Podcast Right for You?
Jouw Podcast is built for people who have moved past the absolute beginner stage. You know the basics, you can order a koffie, you can say where you live. But you are stuck. Generic podcasts feel too easy or too hard. You want to understand real Dutch, not textbook Dutch.
It works particularly well for expats in the Netherlands who are surrounded by Dutch all day but still switch to English at work. The personalized approach means your podcast covers the exact situations you face: team meetings, parent-teacher nights at school, conversations with your buurman, ordering at the snackbar.
If you have tried Duolingo, worked through a textbook, maybe even taken a course, and you still feel like you cannot hold a real conversation, this is the bridge. A personalized Dutch podcast meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go. Doe maar rustig aan.
