The method

Less to learn. More you can use.

Every course is cut down to what you will actually say, hear and read. Then you practise it until it sticks.

  • Chosen for usefulness

    Words, phrases and patterns are ranked by how often everyday life calls for them. The rest can wait.

  • Fifteen minutes that count

    Every session is timed. Reviews are capped, so a missed day never turns into an hour of catch-up.

  • Out loud from day one

    Answer flashcards by speaking, hold short conversations, and learn the sounds a Dutch ear needs to hear clearly.

  • Nothing taught once

    Spaced review brings every item back just before you would forget it.

Start with Dutch. More are on the way.

Each course is a set of 90-day modules. Pick the one that matches where you are today.

Feedback

A coach that explains the fix.

Write a message or say a sentence. See what changed, why it matters, and what to practise next.

Mistakes are ranked by how much they get in the way of being understood. The coach is Claude, running on Amazon Bedrock in the EU.

Ninety days is long enough to change what you can do, and short enough to finish.

Finish one focused module, use it in real life, then take the next level when you are ready.

Questions, answered.

Can I really learn Dutch in 90 days?

You can learn the most useful core of one level. Dutch is split into A1, A2, B1 and B2, and each is its own 90-day module. Exams such as inburgering (B1) need extra practice, and the course shows you where.

How long is a session?

You choose 15 or 20 minutes. Miss a day and nothing is skipped: day 23 means your 23rd session, not a date on the calendar.

What if I can't listen or can't speak?

Switch either skill off, for good or just for today. Listening becomes reading on the same text, speaking becomes typing with the same feedback, and your day still fits its 15 or 20 minutes. Your progress shows which skills you practised.

Which AI do you use, and where does my data go?

Claude by Anthropic, on Amazon Bedrock in the EU. Your voice goes to Amazon Transcribe to become text and is never stored.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. It runs in Safari, and you can add it to your Home Screen like an app.
