Why we’re doing this now

The end of the year is when we often hear expats say:

Only to say the same next year.. and the year after.

Only to wait until the last minute, wasting their learning budget.

Only to find out others have booked their preferred slot already.

We created the 2026 Dutch Raffle to reward you for acting now instead of “sometime in January”.

Every step you take with Dutch Ready between now and 7th of January 2026:

  • Moves you closer to actually speaking Dutch, and
  • Gives you a chance to win extra lessons or lifetime materials.

Who this is for

This raffle is for expats who:

  • Are highly educated and already know multiple languages.
  • Have a busy schedule and need efficient learning.
  • Want to feel at home in the Netherlands, not just “visiting”.
  • Want to perform better at work, connect socially, and not panic with Dutch.

With us, you’re not just “learning grammar.”

You’re learning to:

  • Understand colleagues in meetings
  • Handle daily life (shops, cafés, gemeente letters)
  • Feel confident instead of apologising for your Dutch

I had lessons with Marten for over half a year. He is a great tutor, very knowledgeable and has prepared every lesson with topics that he knew I was interested in. I learned a lot about the language, Dutch culture, but also about local events, which have helped me with feeling better integrated. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience learning Dutch with Esther. She brings a very personal touch to every class, and can easily understand, support and adapt to your language goals. Esther is a creative teacher, and very resourceful. She has an educated take on language learning which is reflected in her lessons. Every lesson is fun, engaging and highly useful....

My lessons with Cissy were amazing! She is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She was super patient, and explained everything. She kept me motivated even when I joined the lessons super tired after work. I went from 0 to speak basic Dutch. I totally recommend her.

I had a 20 lesson package with Philip Ruitenberg who was absolutely brilliant. ..... Philip was able to tailor the lessons to my needs which were quite specific (trying to get into the wine business). Dutch Ready made it a simple and smooth process to find a great teacher and I can't recommend Philip enough.
