Learn Dutch and feel more connected to your local community!
We at Can’t Dutch This believe that learning the local language will contribute to your living experience in The Netherlands. Being able to understand the spoken and written Dutch will open new doors, give you a much better work prospect and create new social interactions.
Therefore our courses focus on understanding the spoken language in order to quickly speak the language yourself. We designed the course ourselves, with an emphasis on making the classes informal, fun and interactive. Each course includes real life excursions, to help you practice Dutch in a real-life environment. Teachers are motivated and the groups are kept intentionally small in order to create a safe and ‘gezellig’ social environment.

Isabella Parisi2024-01-13 I have followed the Basic Can't Dutch This course with Hidde, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The lectures are very interactive, which helps students progress faster. Moreover, the classes are quite small (around 10 people), which makes the teaching very personalized and attentive to each student's unique needs! Would definitely recommend! LUCIA VETTORI2023-12-21 Amazing teachers and efficient structure of the class. I have done both the beginner course as well as the intermediate course. Good balance between grammar and speaking, pronunciation and Dutch culture! I am about to start the advance course ❤️ Love it Georgia Banava2023-08-04 I just completed the intermediate course with Olivier. The classes were always very nice and fun. The time would always pass super fast and it felt like you were done with the class in no time. Olivier is explaining everything in a lot of detail, he always gives the rule and then he gives many examples and small exercises to practice. The course I followed was fully online but there is a crazy flexibility with the online and offline setting. If you can't make it for a class don't worry a solution will definitely be found. I also really enjoyed all the interactive activities that were organized next to the classes. We met a few times offline and played some typical word games, making it a fun but also learning experience. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend it. Apparently with the right help you CAN Dutch this! Katha Narr2023-06-29 This was the best way for me to learn Dutch! The teachers are super helpful and we learned vocabulary for situations we actually experienced in daily life. The focus was on speaking! I would recommend the class the everyone! E G2023-06-28 I recently completed together with my partner two courses in a row from "Can't Dutch This", and it was an excellent experience. The teachers were fantastic, displaying deep knowledge and a passion for teaching. The organization was top-notch, allowing flexibility for missed classes. The atmosphere was positive, and the small group sizes were perfect for practicing speaking. The homework was fun and helpful. I highly recommend this course. Sudha B2023-06-26 Excellent place to start for beginners and helps with progression to advanced level. eleni2023-06-08 Super helpful, I've definitely learned a lot in the course of only a few months and the classes are always very fun and enjoyable:) would totally recommend to anyone, especially as a student who wants to manage with the university's workload while also learning the language:) Mimi Schaefer2023-06-07 10/10 would recommend! Currently, I am taking the intermediate course and completed the basic course also through Can't Dutch This. The course itself is very well organized and is well balanced between more grammatical material as well as more colloquial/speaking mediums. I struggle with speaking and this course has allowed me to feel confident in making mistakes and of course learning to correct them. Overall, a fun, engaging and welcoming environment to learn Dutch that you can use in your day to day life! Cecilia Lopez2023-06-06 Wednesday Dutch classes are a highlight of my week! Classes are fun and flexible (we’ve started a class on the present continuous and ended it on different ways to say “butt”) and I’m very pleased on how much I’ve learned in very little time. Definitely recommend them!! Giulia Aldrighetti2023-05-15 Olivier is the best teacher you will ever have. He cares, he is funny, engaging and he is has the patience of a hundred men. Doesn’t matter it if it 11am on a Sunday of 10pm on a Thursday, he will always put 100% of his energy into it. Best language teacher I’ve ever hadGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 46 reviews
