New here? Download Spreekwafel first, it is free.
Lessons at your own level on what to say at work, a weekly speaking assignment, speaking circles with people at your own stage, and a monthly masterclass. You practise professional Dutch in the situations you are actually in, from the meeting where you go quiet to the client call. It is built for the gap between understanding Dutch and speaking it. You practised alone in the app. Here you do it with others, out loud, every week.
Inside Spreekwafel Circle
Circle picks up exactly where Spreekwafel leaves off. You practised alone, out loud, on your own time. Now you do it with other internationals working through the same Dutch workplace.
Small live sessions with people at your own stage, A2, B1 or B2.
Built around real work situations, meetings, feedback, small talk, presentations.
Themes beyond the basics, from difficult conversations to reading the room.
Ask a question, share a win, or see that everyone stumbles at some point.
How it works
Three tracks, A2, B1 and B2, so you always practise at a level that pushes you.
Join a speaking circle or masterclass, see other faces, speak yours.
Practical lessons that help you grow your professional speaking skills, one real work situation at a time.
Circle and Spreekwafel reinforce each other, alone in the app, live in a session.
Is this for me?
Before you decide
Both of them did an intensive one on one trajectory, the format you find further down this page as Inner Circle. A different way in than Circle, but the same work and the same person doing it with you.
“As an international professional, I struggled to gain confidence speaking Dutch. Working with Jacky made all the difference. Her personalised, practical approach focuses on real life communication and professional language skills.”
Membership

Opening price, two dates. Join on or before 15 September 2026 and you keep the opening price for as long as you stay a member, which makes you a founding member. Join between 16 September and 31 October 2026 and you get the opening price for your first year, after which the normal yearly price applies. Circle is 297 instead of 497, and Circle Pro is 898 instead of 1,197.
The group starts on 1 October 2026. You pay when you join and go straight into the Founders space, where you get to know the other members. Lessons, assignments and live sessions open for everyone at the same time on 1 October.
Founding members
Everyone who joins Circle or Circle Pro on or before 15 September 2026 becomes a FOUNDING MEMBER. That status stays with you, not with the plan, so the price you join at is the price you keep, even if you upgrade to Circle Pro later. Join between 16 September and 31 October and the same opening price applies to your first year, after which the normal yearly price takes over.
The opening price applies to the yearly price and not to a monthly price. For founding members the price stays for as long as the membership runs without interruption, and it belongs to the tier you joined at. If you later move from Circle to Circle Pro, your founding discount comes with you. If you cancel and return later, the price at that moment applies. Payment runs through Circle and Stripe. You can cancel at any time and your membership continues until the end of your paid year. All amounts are per year.
Before you join
The things that come up most often, answered plainly.
The group starts on 1 October 2026. Signing up and starting are two separate things: you can join now, and everyone gets access to the lessons, the assignments and the live sessions on the same day, 1 October.
You pay when you join and go straight into the Founders space, where you meet the other members before the group starts. You also get a 30 minute intake call with Jacky, so that on 1 October you know exactly where to begin.
Circle is 297 euro per year instead of 497, and Circle Pro is 898 euro per year instead of 1,197. Join on or before 15 September 2026 and you are a founding member, which means you keep that price for as long as you stay a member. Join between 16 September and 31 October 2026 and you get the same price for your first year, after which the normal yearly price applies.
Anyone who joins Circle or Circle Pro on or before 15 September 2026. The price you join at stays your price for as long as your membership runs without interruption, and it moves with you if you later upgrade from Circle to Circle Pro.
Circle gives you the lessons at your own level, a weekly speaking assignment with feedback from other members, speaking circles of up to six people, and a monthly live masterclass with Jacky. Circle Pro adds a weekly live lesson at your level, the Expert Vault with masterclasses from guest professionals, buddy match, a speaking test at the start and a progress report after 90 days.
Circle is for people from A2 level upwards, so you already understand a good deal of Dutch but freeze when you have to speak it at work. Everything runs at three levels, A2, B1 and B2, and you practise with people at your own stage.
The speaking practice is in Dutch, and the explanations are in English, so you always understand why something works the way it does. The community itself is a mix of internationals living and working in the Netherlands.
Yes, at any moment. Your membership then runs until the end of the year you paid for. Payment runs through Circle and Stripe, and all amounts are per year.
