Learn Dutch. Feel more at home.
Your next chapter starts with a little Dutch.
A thoughtful learning studio for English speakers, from the first letters of the alphabet to the conversations that make the Netherlands feel familiar, plus practical guidance on life, work and residence here.
01 · The idea
Learning a language is learning a place.
Dutch studio is a learning management system for English speakers moving to, or already living in, the Netherlands. It pairs structured Dutch lessons with honest, practical guides on settling in, so learners aren't juggling a course on one site and real-life answers on another.
- Audience

- What it is
- A learning studio with lessons, audio, exercises and a teacher workspace
- Signature
- English-friendly phonetic spellings, so every Dutch word is easy to say out loud
- My role
- Concept, curriculum direction, content and design
- Stage
- Pre-launch: the journal is live, enrolment opens later
- Domain
- learndutch.fun, hosted on Hostinger
02 · Mini lesson
Say it the way you'd spell it.
Instead of phonetic symbols, Dutch studio writes pronunciation the way an English speaker would read it. Tap a card to flip it.
Capitals mark the stressed syllable. "kh" is the throaty Dutch g.

Careful explanations, Dutch audio and practical exercises take learners on one path from absolute beginner to advanced fluency.
