Speak better Dutch with Dutch Ready
Do you understand Dutch, but freeze as soon as you need to talk? Speaking Dutch can feel intimidating, especially when you don’t get enough practice in real-life situations.
You know exactly what you want to say, but it just won’t come out the right way. And then there are also those Dutchies who immediately switch to English!
You’re not the only one. Over the past few years, we’ve worked with many students who felt exactly the same. They understood Dutch but found it hard to speak when it really mattered.
Most of the time, it wasn’t a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of confidence or practice.
Our online Dutch conversation lessons are designed to change things.
With personalized sessions that focus on fluency, vocabulary, and practical communication, you’ll gain the confidence to speak better Dutch in everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Online Dutch conversation lessons
- Payment
- General
If you come to class as a beginner student, then some grammar will most likely come into play to explain certain sentence structures and conjugations. Grammar is still at the basis of speaking. If you already know some Dutch however and really wish to focus only on speaking, then grammar will only be discussed when necessary to improve your speaking skills. Your teacher will discuss the various options with you and will listen to your needs and wants, making your Dutch conversation lessons completely customized and focused on your personal language goals.
No, that’s not necessary! Our private Dutch conversation lessons are suitable for learners at every CEFR level, regardless if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced speaker.
Every lesson and student is different, that’s why we don’t work with fixed textbooks. If you wish to work with books of your own, we’d be happy to use them during our conversation lessons.
We send you an invoice before the start of your lesson package, which you can pay by bank transfer. Our packages are also payable in terms. The first term is to be paid before your first lesson. Has your company agreed to pay for your Dutch conversation course? That’s great! All we need are their company details and email address, and we’ll send the invoice directly to them.
A Dutch conversation course is ideal for anyone who wishes to improve their speaking skills, regardless of their level. The lessons are also of great help when you’re afraid to speak Dutch and want to get rid of your fear. Whether you’re already living in the Netherlands, (still) living abroad, preparing for a Dutch-speaking workplace, or simply want to feel more at ease in social settings, a private conversation course will help you speak Dutch fluently and feel more connected in everyday life.
Our online Dutch conversation lessons are flexible, and adapt to your pace and schedule. If you’d like homewerk, you and your tutor will agree together on what fits your schedule.
Payment is to be made in advance by bank transfer or Ideal. You can pay the full amount of the course either in 1 go, or choose to pay in terms We will of course provide you with an invoice.
Even better: Dutch lessons are completely tax free as determined by the Dutch government. Easy as that!
Definitely. All we need are your company’s invoice details and the email address of the person handling finances. The invoice for your Dutch lessons will then get sent directly to them.
Lesson credits are valid for 3-9 months, depending on the package you choose. Within these 3-9 months you have the freedom to schedule lessons when and where you want, making it possible to pause your course for a few weeks should that become necessary. Simply can’t find a way to complete your course in time? We’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities of extending your credits whenever necessary.
If your goal is to speak with confidence we’re here to help. To learn effectively you need to embrace making mistakes and truly become interested in what you’re trying to learn. Our tutors create a safe learning environment and guide you towards exercise material that is relevant to your personal interests.
Lessons take place online, or at your home or office. Whichever you prefer. If you’re the adventurous type, some of our tutors are happy to show you the city during your Dutch lessons as well.
You get to decide together with your teacher which online platform works best for the both of you. This can range from Teams to Zoom to Google Meet.
The platforms we use vary from Google Meet to Zoom to Teams. It’s really up to you and your teacher to find one that fits both of you best. In terms of content, through use of screen sharing, combined workspaces and the like we’re able to offer a learning experience much like face-to-face lessons. All with the benefits of being online.
During your intake you can decide when and where you want lessons. You also decide lesson length and frequency, though we do recommend 2 lessons of 1.5 hours each week for the best results. Lessons are planned directly with your tutor and can be cancelled up to 48 hours in advance.
We’ll always try our best to find a tutor for your preferred time and location. If we can’t find a fitting tutor, we’ll suggest alternative lesson scheduling.
Yes. Finding the right chemistry is key. That’s why we find it important that you get to know your tutor. If your tutor’s style isn’t a great fit, let us know. We’ll pair you with a new tutor free of charge. We’ll always help you find the perfect replacement so you can make the most of your lessons.
Our first question would be: how much homework do you want? Some of our students simply can’t find the time in their busy lives and that is absolutely ok! We work based on your schedule and not the other way around. Want to keep practicing outside of the lessons? Your teacher will discuss with you the amount and type of homework that is suitable for you.
We definitely can! Our teachers have plenty of experience with preparing students for their Dutch language exams. We can determine your current level together before the start of the online course, where after we help you gain the knowledge you still need to pass your exam.
Don’t worry, you won’t. Our Dutch lessons can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. Cancellations within 48 hours will be billed in full. Also, you can decide your own lesson time, so lessons will always be convenient in your busy schedule.
We offer the possibility to choose a 10-, 20-, 40-, or 90-hour lesson package. As you decide on the frequency and length of your Dutch lessons, your course length can vary from 2 weeks up to 9 months. That’s up to you! Your lesson credit is available for 4-9 months depending on your lesson package. Each package includes at least 6 weeks more than necessary, so you have plenty of time to complete your Dutch course.
