Did you notice that the standard Dutch that you might have started to learn already, usually originates from the Netherlands, with the pronunciation that is used in the Netherlands? However, if you're living/working/studying or planning to do so in Flanders or Brussels, Belgium, then suddenly, the language that you thought you mastered to a certain degree, suddenly gets a whole different dimension. Because in Belgium, we speak differently than in the Netherlands, with different accents, some different words, different expressions and even some different grammar sometimes. Of course, when we're writing, we should be using the exact same language, even though in reality that's not always the case. But especially on an oral level, Flemish and Dutch are really more different than you might expect.

If you want to get the hang of the Dutch spoken in Belgium and you're eager to get the accent right, to know the correct meaning of the words we use and just to be generally understood, then I can help you!

Apart from spontaneous conversation, we will sometimes focus on instant translation from English/French texts to Dutch and also improvisation and roll play is a fun and super useful practice. This lesson is for students who already have a decent foundation in Dutch.

Just give it a try!
