You don’t need another grammar course

Your Dutch should leave your head.

Knowing a language and using it in a real conversation are different skills. The Accelerator gives you the guided speaking hours that apps, textbooks and silent exercises cannot.

01

You understand the question

But you need too much time to build your answer.

02

You know the words

But they disappear when the conversation becomes unpredictable.

03

You can make a sentence

But keeping a natural back-and-forth going feels difficult.

The missing step is speaking

Small group. Useful support. Real repetition every week.

Choose the right challenge

Two clubs. One goal: speaking with confidence.

You do not choose based on a certificate. The short voice check places you according to what you can do in a real conversation.

A1Basic Dutch → confident conversations

You know basic Dutch, but you freeze.

Learn to answer longer, react naturally, ask back and stay in Dutch when you need help.

  • Supported, everyday conversations
  • Sentence starters and practical phrases
  • Repair before switching to English
  • Build toward 3–5 minute conversations
Tuesday · 19:00–20:0012 January–2 March 2027
B1Functional Dutch → natural fluency

You can speak Dutch, but you still hesitate.

Speak longer and more spontaneously through stories, opinions, deeper questions and unexpected conversation turns.

  • Longer, less prepared conversations
  • Stories, opinions and social topics
  • Natural reactions and follow-up questions
  • Build toward 6–8 minute conversations

Good to know

Questions before you speak?

The programme is designed to feel safe and social, even if groups normally make you nervous.

Is this a normal Dutch course?

No. It is a guided conversation club with progression. You receive useful phrases, questions and coaching, but most of the hour is spent speaking.

What if I choose the wrong level?

You are not placed by self-assessment alone. A short voice task lets Nederlessen recommend A1 or B1 before you receive a payment invitation.

I’m shy in groups. Will this work for me?

The four-person maximum and consistent weekly group are designed to lower pressure. Sessions begin with easy questions and build gradually.

What happens if I miss a session?

Missed sessions are not refunded and there are no private make-up lessons. You still receive the phrase card and speaking challenge for that week.

Are sessions recorded?

No. Club sessions are not recorded, which protects privacy and helps everyone speak more freely.

Does this guarantee A2 or B2?

No full CEFR-level jump is promised in eight hours. The goal is measurable improvement in fluency, interaction, repair and speaking confidence.

Only eight founding places

Make “I’ll speak more Dutch” the resolution you keep.
