After trying different ways of leaning Dutch I came across “Learn Dutch with Kim” and it was love at first sight :)) I have started my course in June and since then my Dutch improved a lot and learning is fun. Everything it’s very well structured and well explained. The course includes videos with subtitles, theory, and a lot of exercises. If this review did’t convince you, I am sure her videos will!

I am a beginning Dutch language learner and find Kim's teaching to be approachable and thorough. Her YouTube videos are fun (and funny!) and I always learn something new. The instructional materials she provides are extremely helpful references and it's apparent that she spends a great deal of her time refining and perfecting them. Overall, I think her lessons are great and I would highly recommend them to anyone at any language level.

The Beginner’s Course is jam-packed with practice material to help me understand the many (and often strange) Dutch grammar rules. The best part is that the lessons are broken into small chunks, making it easy to divide them into short study sessions if I’m pressed for time. I started the Beginner’s Course just over a month ago, but I already notice a significant difference not only in my level of Dutch but also my confidence while speaking. This course was the push I needed to take my language skills to the next level and I’m so grateful that I did!

I have completed Kim's "Dutch for beginners" and I can say that it's a great way to emerse yourself properly in a new language. The classes are very well structured and the additional lessons, gives you a better understanding of the language that simply learning by rote that I find with other language tools. I've signed up for the intermediate course too..

I enrolled for the A1 beginners course because a relative moved to Belgium and I thought, it would probably be useful to learn at least some Dutch for when I visit them in their new home-town. This course had enough content to get me started in Dutch and is presented in a way that suits my learning style. I'm not a quick learner, it took me nearly 8 years to get to B1 in German, but after doing this course I was able to communicate simple food and drink orders in a couple of cafes in Flanders, and probably my biggest confidence boost was being spoken to in Dutch by a shop assistant in Schiphol (of all places!), understanding what she said and responding appropriately. I fully recommend this course for anyone starting out in Dutch and have enrolled myself on the follow-on A2 course.

I love learning Dutch with Kim. I stumbled across Kim's videos whilst looking for help with Dutch pronunciation on Youtube. I immediately loved Kim's teaching style - informative, funny, entertaining and very, very useful. I had to enroll in her beginners course - it is so good. I love it. The course is so fairly priced too. I totally recommend taking a course with Kim - you will be so glad you did.

I enrolled in Kim’s A1 course in April. I have found her Youtube videos, along with the exercises and PDFs for each topic, the perfect way to help me on my language learning journey! When I don’t understand a certain topic, I can spend as much time as I want on it, and I can re-visit it as much as I personally need which I find really helpful. I will do both her other courses on my way to doing my inburingsexamen. Thanks, Kim!

Thanks to Kim I was able to take a huge step in improving my Dutch. Not only are the lessons very interesting, but thanks to the many exercises I can practice everything said in the videos. For the price you get much more than you would expect. Kim is the best teacher and I am glad I found her Youtube channel and courses :) I highly recommend, you definitely won't regret it!

It’s not for you if

If you have little to no knowledge ofhardly any knowledge about Dutch and you can’t follow my A1 and you can’t follow my A1-videos without the use of English subtitles, then this course is probably a good fit!

To be sure, you can take the placement test on my website. If you score A0 or A1, your level matches this course!

If, after enrollment, it turns out the course is too easy, we can switch you to the A2-course (or another course) or issue a full refund—both options are available within the first 14 days of registration.

The A1 course is for complete beginners who want to build a strong foundation by learning all the basic grammar and vocabulary.

The A2 course continues from there, introducing more intermediate grammar and vocabulary. However, you’ll need to know the basics taught in the A1 course—otherwise, you might feel lost!

This is a self-study course, with all lessons pre-recorded and subtitled in both English and Dutch. Each lesson comes with downloadable PDFs containing all the explanations.

The advantage? You can follow the course as many times as you like, whenever it suits you, and entirely at your own pace! Please note: (Live) tutoring is not included.

You can learn all the theory with my YouTube videos for free. I believe that every human being has the right on information and that it should be free. But if you want to dive deeper, then this course is for you!

So, this course does not only include my YouTube videos, but also another 50+ hours worth of (downloadable) study-materials with which you can practice with what you’ve learned and to take your Dutch to the next level!!

You can start the course right away after completing your payment!

If you study for 5 hours a week, you can finish this course in about 10 weeks (this is an average of previous students!)

But you will keep lifelong access to the course, even after finishing it!

There’s no end date—you only need to pay once, and you’ll get unlimited access to the entire course, which you can follow at your own pace!

The Certificate of Completion is for personal use only. It’s not an official document and cannot be used to apply for a residence permit or a job. For those purposes, you’ll need to take the official national NT2 exams, such as the Inburgeringsexamen or Staatsexamen NT2.

However, this course follows the CEFR standards (Common European Framework of Reference) for reaching the A1 level—so you’ll be well prepared to take those exams with confidence later on!

Your satisfaction is my priority! If you purchase a course and realize it’s not the right fit, you can request a full refund within 14 days—no questions asked.Please note: refunds are no longer possible after the 14-day period.

In most countries, you can pay on the website using a credit card, with PayPal, or via Klarna or Afterpay (using your IBAN). You’ll be enrolled in the course immediately after payment.

If your payment fails on the website, don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I can send you a payment link for iDEAL, PayPal, or a bank transfer. (This is always in euros). Just keep in mind that this option may take a bit more time to process your enrollment—it could take a few days.

If you cannot find the answer here, you can contact me by email. I usually respond within 48 hours.
