You've been learning Dutch. It's time to actually speak it

This is an investment in yourself and in your career. Think about what it costs you not to act: missed promotions, job interviews that go sideways, always depending on colleagues to translate. One conversation that goes well can change things. The question is not whether it is worth it. The question is how much longer you are willing to wait.

Spreekwafel is 10 minutes a day, on your commute, at lunch, on the sofa. TaalStar is two sessions per week, plus homework between sessions. You don't need to clear your schedule. You need a system that fits around your life. That's exactly what this is.

From A2 level, you're welcome. And here's the thing: waiting until you feel ready is exactly what keeps people stuck for years. It doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to be spoken. That's what we practise: real conversations, your level, your pace.

Regular courses teach you the language. Here you learn to speak it — and to dare. No grammar lists, no textbooks. Real situations, your workplace, your goals. The focus is on speaking out loud from day one, with feedback, so confidence actually builds.

Saying "how are you" is very different from leading a meeting, giving feedback, or defending your idea in Dutch. Professional Dutch is a specific skill: the vocabulary, the tone, the directness. And here is something people often discover: when you focus on professional Dutch, your general and social language skills improve too. The confidence, the habits, the ear for the language. The other way around, that does not work as well.

Spreekwafel is the daily speaking app: short exercises built around real workplace situations, meetings, feedback, small talk with colleagues, with real speaking feedback every time. It is free and available now on the App Store and Google Play, from A2 level.

Spreekwafel Circle is the live community for internationals who want to keep speaking professional Dutch every day, not just study it. Live sessions per level, masterclasses, and speaking circles where you practise with other professionals in the same job market, on top of your daily Spreekwafel practice. It opens in September 2026. Join the waitlist above to be notified the moment it opens.
