English-guided Dutch practice

Dutch for expats in the Netherlands

Choose a real situation, read both sides of a complete exchange, and rehearse a version with your own details.

Six practical situations

Choose the conversation in front of you

Each guide includes two dialogues, adaptable phrases, common fixes, and a private local rehearsal.

Talking to a municipality employee about a registration appointment

Practise the Dutch you need to confirm your BRP registration appointment, explain your address and ask which documents to show.

Asking an agent or landlord questions while viewing a rental home

Ask clear Dutch questions about rent, service costs, repairs and the written agreement during a home viewing.

Calling a landlord or maintenance service to report a defect and schedule access

Report a problem clearly, agree a time window and confirm access with a landlord or maintenance service.

Speaking with a GP receptionist or assistant to request and confirm an appointment

Practise explaining your appointment request to the GP assistant, answering basic questions and checking the time.

Taking part in a scheduled parent–teacher meeting at a Dutch primary school

Ask about your child's school day, understand examples from the teacher and agree one practical follow-up.

Explaining ongoing work and next actions at a shift or project handover

Give a concise Dutch handover: status, open task, risk, owner and the next check.
