Should I learn Dutch?
After reading this, you might wonder: why should I learn Dutch? Well there are several good reasons to learn Dutch:
- Dutch is the native language of approximately 23 million people in 3 countries: The Netherlands, Belgium and Suriname.
- The language is closely related to the English language, thus learning it will be relatively easy for English native speakers.
- If you know the Dutch language, you can also understand the closely-related language Afrikaans which is spoken in South-Africa and Namibia. Have a look at the two languages to see the similarity: Dutch: Wat is jouw naam? Afrikaans: Wat is jou naam?
- Learning Dutch will help you to understand the culture and society of the Netherlands. Speaking and understanding Dutch wil make daily activities such as reading the newspaper, doing groceries or watching television much easier and more fun!

What our students say
4.5/5 from 9 reviews
My wife is from Belgium and I decided to move to there after I met her. In the beginning it was difficult because I couldn't understand anything but with the help of a native Dutch speaker I improved and now me and my wife only speak Dutch.

Online marketing expertI was so nervous for my exchange to the Netherlands because I couldn't speak any Dutch. After doing an online language course of 24 hours I was feeling way more secure about my stay in Europe.
