5 reasons to choose Dutch Courses Amsterdam!
Effective small groups
The classes of Dutch Courses Amsterdam consist of no more than 8 students. You are guaranteed to receive enough personal attention and will have sufficient time to ask all your questions.
Dutch, the correct way
Correct word order in a sentence is one of the major difficulties for learners of Dutch. Our experienced teachers will help you speak correctly in a pleasant way without interrupting the flow of the conversation or disturbing the spontaneity of the moment.
Specialized teachers
Speaking Dutch correctly is only possible if you have a decent understanding of its grammar. This is why our courses are subdivided into a grammar part and a conversation part, with one specialized teacher for each. The grammar teacher helps you build a solid base, while the conversation teacher encourages you to speak from day one.
Free online tool to learn vocabulary
With our online tool you can learn essential vocabulary and basic phrases as part of your self-study. This is important because in each class you will learn a new grammar topic that will be used later that day during the conversation lesson.
Courses for all levels and authentic study materials
Dutch Courses Amsterdam offers Dutch classes at all levels, from introductory (A0) to advanced (B2, state exam program). We use our own study materials that were specially developed with a focus on daily conversation and correct word order. They are easily understandable, fun, and interesting to learn from. For the B2/C1 conversation level, we use external books.
What our students say
"I had an extraordinary week of private classes in this cozy language school with an exceptionally talented, professional, personable instructor who made all the difference. As a language teacher myself, I went in with high hopes and expectations - and all were met! The materials were excellent, the staff professional, and the opportunity to learn Dutch in the middle of such a beautiful city was unforgettable. I made good progress and enjoyed every class, every day!"

"Excellente école où j’ai suivi une formation intensive de deux semaines de néerlandais niveau A2-B1, à raison de 3h30 par jour, cinq jours par semaine. Chaque journée est séparée en deux blocs de 1h45 : grammaire le matin et conversation l’après-midi. J’étais au sein d’un groupe de six personnes venant des quatre coins du globe. Les professeurs Mariska et Mickael étaient excellents. Les locaux sont très agréables. Sans oublier Cat, qui s’est montrée très réactive pour répondre à toutes les questions que j’avais en amont de la formation. Si je me décide à faire une nouvelle formation pour le niveau supérieur, je repasserai par cette école c’est certain !"

"Three years ago I started my Dutch learning journey at DCA and took three intensive Dutch courses from A1 to B1. I returned for my 4th course (B2 conversation) in June 2026 with teachers Bart and Michael. As per my previous experience at DCA, the classes were fantastic and I learnt a lot. I often receive compliments that my Dutch grammar is good and I really owe my progress to this amazing school! The teachers are engaging, classes are small and you receive a lot of personal attention and corrections. As a language teacher myself, I also learnt a lot from them about teaching and effective language instruction. Thank you for everything! I would love to return again in the future."

"I came to DCA as a complete beginner. I didn't know a single word of Dutch, and took three intensive courses back to back. I honestly can't recommend them enough. The teachers made all the difference. Jarmo is warm and approachable, and always makes you feel comfortable speaking. Lennert, who taught grammar, is incredibly knowledgeable. He seems to know a bit of almost every language, and he brings in a lot of cultural context that makes everything click. And Angelique is wonderfully enthusiastic. When I started, I spoke very quietly because I wasn't confident, and she constantly (but always kindly) pushed me to speak up and step out of my comfort zone. Thanks to her, I'm not only starting to speak Dutch — I feel more confident when I speak in general now. On top of that, I met so many classmates from all over the world, from all kinds of backgrounds, and everyone was really lovely. It made the whole experience even more special. In a short amount of time I went from zero to being able to handle simple everyday conversations in Dutch, which honestly makes me really happy. I'm so grateful to the whole team. I've had to stop for now because I'm leaving Amsterdam, but if I ever come back, I'd definitely consider continuing at a higher level. Thank you for everything!"
