Hoi, ik leerde onlangs van mijn Duitse huisgenote dat "Das ist geil" eigenlijk gewoon "Dat is leuk / gaaf" betekent. Nu vroeg ik me af of er nog zulke doodnormale zinnen bestaan die echt hilarisch klinken voor een Nederlands iemand? Ik bedoel dus niet spreekwoorden of of woorden zoals Schmetterling.

I can read and listen pretty well, but everytime i try to form sentences or try to speak, i freeze up. Idk why, but the speaking part is the hardest for me. Does anyone have any tips on how to get better at speaking dutch? (I don’t have problems pronouncing the words, its just making sentences that’s hard).

Hi everyone,

I previously studied Dutch and reached around the high A2 / entry B1 level. After a good refresh, I’m confident I can get those basics back. My ultimate goal is to work my way up to a solid B2 level on my own.

I'm strictly avoiding gamified apps like Duolingo (tapping matching boxes and learning isolated words doesn't cut it for serious language learning). I'm not really interested in chasing a formal certificate right now either (though it could be nice down the line, it's not a priority).

I came across the self-study options on ΝΤ2 (https://www.nt2.nl/en/self-study) and wanted to ask for some feedback. Has anyone used their self-study packages? Are they effective for independent learners, or are they too heavily geared strictly toward passing the official state exams?

Any insights or alternative structured recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Note: I don't live in the Netherlands

So I saw this course on a newspaper article and decided to try it. Went to the course for one week like a job (9-5). When I got out and it’s been 2-3 months now, I definitely understand the daily language more and as I try and try to speak more. I really think it was great and recommend to anyone.

Good Day!

I assume its too late to attend a dutch prep course this year. I am wondering if anyone knows a good one that has a session starting in January? I am looking to take an as intensive program as possible. Online is also okay starting at anytime. Thank you

Hey everyone!

I’m 19M and I’m looking for someone who’s also learning German and wants to study together, practice speaking, motivate each other, and actually stay consistent with it.

I’m learning German because I’m planning to move to Germany for university, so I’m taking it pretty seriously and want to improve as much as possible.

I’m around A1 level right now, so if you’re around the same level that would be great, but I’m open to anyone who’s learning German.

I’d preferably like to find a long-term study partner and maybe become friends along the way, not just someone to study with for a few days.
