E-learning A0-A2

Are you a complete beginner in Dutch? Our e-learning package starts with the basics and introduces a new grammatical concept in each chapter. This allows you to build your knowledge step by step through self-study without feeling overwhelmed by complex rules. In the grammar lessons, you’ll work on grammar and targeted exercises, and then apply your knowledge in the practical lessons to prepare for real-life situations.

Our e-learning A0-A2 contains a total of 42 grammar lessons, 29 practical lessons, and over 400 exercises to help you reach Dutch level A2 step by step. It includes explanations in simple Dutch, with English translations and language comparisons.

Many learners of Dutch find pronunciation to be a real stumbling block, and are well aware that intelligibility is an essential aspect of communication. In fact, pronunciation is something you’ll continue to work on throughout your entire learning journey. That’s why this Pronunciation & Spelling module will come in handy not only now, but also in the future.

This module is a comprehensive pronunciation guide with clear explanations, tips on the right mouth form, practical exercises, and extra lessons on the relationship between spelling and writing.

Practice Dutch with free learning materials for A2 level

You’re working hard on your Dutch, but during a trip to the supermarket, you freeze when the cashier asks you a question that comes out of the blue. Many learners tell us they have a fear of speaking Dutch. That’s why we at Dutch Ready have developed a comprehensive Dutch conversation module, packed with scripts for a wide variety of situations (shopping, work, doctor’s visits, and much more).
With the Praatgraag A1 and Praatgraag A2 modules, you’ll receive a total of more than 80 dialogues, spread across 40 chapters. With engaging conversational situations, fill-in-the-blank sections, and comprehensive vocabulary lists, you’ll soon develop fluency and confidence in Dutch conversations.

Reading Dutch is very important if you want to become fluent faster. When you read, you get high-quality examples of the language, learn new words in context, and naturally improve your grammar without even thinking about it. You can learn at your own pace, and you’re exposed to different sentence structures and cultural nuances that you often miss in spoken language.

Our 30 Dutch reading stories from “Op Avontuur in Nederland” are available at levels A2, B1, and B2 within the Dutch Ready Academy.

The stories feature expats and Dutch characters in everyday situations in the Netherlands, with a focus on real-life and cultural context. You also get access to our online grammar trainer, so you can improve your grammar through flexible fill-in-the-blank exercises. You can practice different word types such as nouns, adjectives, verbs, conjunctions, and more.

Practicing Dutch grammar boring? Not with our Online Grammar Trainer, that enables you to take your Dutch to the next level. We’ve designed this tool to make learning grammar simple and enjoyable.

The trainer is perfect for A2, and even B1 and B2 learners. It offers a wide range of interactive exercises to practice different word types, such as nouns, adjectives, verbs, conjunctions, and more. The fill-in-the-blank exercises are adjustable, so you can focus on what you need most and learn at your own pace.

What makes this trainer special is that it is linked to our Op Avontuur in Nederland reading stories. That means you’ll practice grammar in real context, which makes it much more of an engaging activity.  

Many of our students have to take an exam at some point. For example, the Civic Integration Exam Abroad (A1 level), or the Civic Integration Exam at A2 level. It’s important not only to work on the required skills, but also to prepare for the exam itself. With our Met Vlag en Wimpel A1 and A2 practice exam modules, you’ll get a sense of what to expect on the actual exam and have plenty of opportunities to practice with the format. This way, you can count down to exam day with maximum confidence. As soon as we have B1 practice exams available, we will add them to the Dutch Ready Academy as well.

Knowing the material is only half the battle. Knowing how to tackle the exam is the other half. In this video course, a Dutch Ready teacher walks you through each part of the exam: speaking, writing, reading, listening and KNM (at A2 and B1 levels). You’ll learn how the questions are structured, what examiners are looking for, how to manage your time, and the common mistakes that cost people points. She’ll also take you step-by-step in answering exam questions so you can apply the correct strategy yourself. Paired with the Met Vlag en Wimpel practice exams, you’ll walk in knowing exactly what to expect and how to ace your Inburgering exam on the first try.

In addition to all the modules listed above, the Dutch Ready Academy also offers a wide range of resources that make learning Dutch on your own even easier and more fun. Think, for example, of: sound cards that allow you to compare Dutch sounds with those of your own language, tips for listening and reading materials, language games, targeted grammar exercises, vocabulary lists, and roadmaps that show the required skills and requirements for each language level. In short, more than enough to tailor your Dutch self-study journey in a way that perfectly fits your needs and daily life.

All of this, in one place, for just €15 a month.

Some downloadable extras are yours to keep regardless, including the A1 and A2 reading exams and the vocabulary lists.

The Dutch Ready Academy is a complete self-study course for beginners, but works even better alongside lessons or active practice. It helps you build skills, but guidance and real-life interaction are key for best results.

Of course. We offer online private Dutch lessons for all levels. Based on your starting level, your personality, and the goals you want to work toward (social skills, exams, career opportunities), we carefully match you with one of our tutors. The Dutch Ready Academy materials are included in our private lessons. So when you start lessons, you keep or extend your access at no extra cost.

Want to try before you decide? Book a test lesson (including personalized level check) to get a taste of online Dutch classes and to meet your potential tutor.

Yes. When you join, you can add a second licence for someone learning alongside you at €54 for the first year (70% off). They get their own login and track their own progress, so you can learn at your own pces but keep each other motivated. The second licence renews at the regular €180/year after the first year.
