The latest additions, with the pages behind them.
Companies buy a year of Dutch practice for their staff themselves, from 5 people: €87 per person per year, down to €63.90 from 500. Pay by card or iDEAL, and since this month also by invoice, with no automatic renewal. HR sees who practises and who is improving. Also new: a one-minute product demo and a price comparison with Duolingo for Business. Converted at the ECB rate of 12 November 2026, Teams costs less per person.
A free question hub in English and Dutch: which level you need, what it costs, how to register, how results work, exemptions and the KNM exam, with a pointer to DUO's own practice exams.
How colleagues start, what they practise, and what HR sees in the dashboard. Real app screens with demo data.

Rick can speak about these from daily practice, with real examples and numbers.
People try their Dutch and the other person switches to English. What that does to a learner, and what works instead.
How one person publishes 36 shows and 6,400+ episodes with AI voices and transcripts, and where a human still decides.
Dutch Fluency began because its founder kept skipping his own practice. How to make practice arrive by itself.
Running a Dutch learning platform from the other side of the world, and what the distance teaches you about how people really learn.
What international colleagues need to use Dutch on the job, and how an employer can support practice between lessons.
Most of Dutch Fluency is free on purpose. What that choice means for a small company.
No developer team: Rick builds the apps, the site and the podcast production with AI coding tools. What that makes possible, and where it still breaks.
A one-person Dutch platform now sells to companies for less per person than Duolingo for Business, at the exchange rate of 12 November 2026. What a specialist can do that an app for more than 35 languages cannot.
Which level, what it costs, how long you have, who is exempt and how hard KNM is: the questions people really ask, answered in English and Dutch.
Native Dutch speaker and Dutch teacher. Rick started Dutch Fluency when he was learning Thai and kept forgetting to practise, so he automated his own practice. He builds the platform from Asia, and you can hear his voice in the podcasts.
