So if you are an absolute beginner (A1-A2) and you have very little knowledge of Dutch, this course is good for you.

Then this Learn Dutch course is the right choice for you.
After this Dutch course, you will be able to speak Dutch/ Flemish and hold simple conversations using common Dutch phrases from daily life.
So, I understand the problems and difficulties of learning a new language. I also have taught 1000's of students from all over the world, and it is quite clear to me that the traditional methods for learning Dutch used by many institutions and courses do not produce good results.
And that's why I created this course and this new system to help people like you to learn Dutch for beginners, in a simple, painless manner.
DUTCH
This system of teaching to Learn Dutch for beginners will provide you with a solid base and a practical usage of the Dutch language as quickly as possible. This system is based on the idea that learning a language successfully comes from having to communicate REAL meaning.
When you are talking about things that happen in your day-to-day life your natural strategies for language acquisition and learning are much more activated. And this will allow you to learn to use the language faster and better.
REAL- So, no boring irrelevant content. Learn Dutch naturally and quickly.
This is achieved through a carefully designed system that builds up and practices the language in your mind, step by step, until you can understand and make relatively complex sentences with ease.
From the very start, you will be listening to and speaking Dutch with your own words and sentences, absorbing structures without even realizing it. The method guides you through basic speaking Dutch exercises in a motivating and stimulating way.
This Learn Dutch Beginner course consists of 11,5 hours and 90+ video lessons of spoken English to Dutch. In every lesson, there is a series of speaking exercises, language insights, Dutch grammar lessons, and Dutch grammar exercises as well as some interesting Cultural Insights of the Netherlands and the Dutch language.
The topics that will be presented to learn Dutch (CEFR level Dutch A1 - Dutch A2) and that you will absorb are the following:

Flemish is the Dutch language as spoken in Flanders, one of the two official languages of Belgium.
The Dutch language is spoken by around 23 million native speakers worldwide. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders/ Flemish), and Suriname. Dutch is also an official language of Aruba, Curaçao, and St Maarten.
The difference between the Netherlands and Holland (holandés / Hollandaca) is: the Netherlands is the term for the country as a whole (12 provinces), while Holland refers to just the two provinces of North and South Holland. However, the name "Holland" continues to be popular with foreigners and even the Dutch themselves.
