From living in Amsterdam to belonging in Amsterdam
Living in an international city like Amsterdam might feel exciting and full of opportunities, but without speaking Dutch, it’s easy to feel like an outsider. Work or studies may be going well, yet building real connections often only happens when you speak the local language.
At Dutch Ready, we understand your busy life, learning style, goals, and personality. That’s why we create a personalised lesson plan for your Dutch lessons in Amsterdam you can actually stick to – the opposite of those one-size-fits-all courses you may have tried before.
"Ahh, op die fiets"
Ahh, now I get it (literally: Ahh, on that bike)
Easy lesson planning. Plan your Dutch lessons in Amsterdam on the days (Monday-Sunday) and times (07:00-22:00) that suit you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Dutch lessons in Amsterdam
- Payment
- General
A face-to-face Dutch course in Amsterdam takes as long as you want or need. We offer online and face-to-face lesson packages of 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours. You decide on the lesson length (with a minimum of 1 hour) and lesson frequency. We often recommend 2 private Dutch lessons a week to get the most out of it. If you’d like personal advice about the time you’ll need to learn Dutch, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help you.
You will decide this yourself, together with the tutor with whom you are taking Dutch lessons in Amsterdam. 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. If you’re eager on practicing outside of your private Dutch course, you’ll discuss the amount and type of homework that is suitable for you with your tutor.
Yes. Since all of our Dutch lessons in Amsterdam are tailored to your language goals, we can easily set up Dutch conversation lessons for you which will be completely focused on speaking.Â
How long it takes to get from one CEFR level to the next depends the frequency of your private Dutch course in Amsterdam (we recommend at least 2 lessons a week), amount of homework, your personal affinity with languages, and how much Dutch you speak outside of the classroom. From our own experience this can range from anywhere between 20 to 40 lesson hours.
Yes, absolutely. We can set up a personalized, private Dutch course in Amsterdam to help you build the language skills you need. Together with your Dutch tutor, you’ll focus on grammar, vocabulary, listening, writing, reading, and speaking, and use practice exams to help you feel confident and well-prepared for the NT2 exam.Â
Yes, definitely. We offer Dutch lessons in Amsterdam to students of all levels, including those who need to take an exam. If your goal is to pass the integration exam, you and your tutor will draw up a lesson plan that will take you step by step toward your goal.
Have you already achieved the required language level and would you like to prepare for the exam itself? Then we can also help you with our online exam training A2 or online exam training B1.
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.
