FAQ
Why should you learn Dutch as an expat?
Most Nederlanders speak great English, so many expats feel unsure as to whether they should learn Dutch at all. But if any of the below apply to you, click to learn how I can help you learn Dutch and feel at home in my beautiful country!
Do you feel disconnected from the people, culture, and language around you?
My Dutch language lessons don’t just teach you the skills, but help you understand the culture of the Netherlands!
Do you want to make more Dutch friends or start understanding your Dutch partner or children?
It can feel alienating when everyone around you is speaking a language you don’t understand! Our courses can help you integrate with new people or start participating in the Dutch conversations around you!
Do you feel that not speaking any Dutch is limiting your job opportunities?
While there are employers in the Netherlands that hire non-Dutch speakers, learning Dutch (even at an A1 or A2 level!) opens up far more opportunities!
Are you planning a move to the Netherlands, but are nervous about the language barrier?
Expatica recommends learning Dutch to make the transition easier! Enroll in our online group courses or receive private lessons online before you arrive and start your new life with confidence!
Did you try self-learning, but are realizing you have spent hours studying Dutch but are still without the confidence and practical skills to have a conversation?
The Keep Talking Dutch Conversation Club is a membership-based community for internationals who want to feel more confident speaking Dutch in everyday life in the Netherlands.
