Kickstart Your Dutch

An Instagram course to learn Dutch? JA!

I created the ‘Kickstart your Dutch’ course on IG for those who are looking for a flexible way to learn the fundamentals of the Dutch language, with a relatively low investment of time, energy, and money. Check out an example video below!

Cost: €27

This course is for you if:

You wish to study the fundamentals of the Dutch language but you don’t have the time to invest in a group course yet.

You want to be able to study on your own time and at your own pace.

You‘ve studied the basics before, but you feel like you need a structured and fun recap.

You have children or grandchildren who moved to The Netherlands, and you’d like to know more about this country and its people.

What is it?

Kickstart your Dutch is a self-study course in a private page on Instagram. You can study at your own time, at your own pace, while having me on your side to answer any questions you might have!

I’ve divided the course into four themes:

Introductions and greetings

Counting, the alphabet and telling time

Family and describing people

Grocery store Dutch and useful questions

I will also share cultural peculiarities and funny Dutch quotes. I will be available for questions via DM: you can ask me all your Dutch-related questions!

You’ll retain access to the page for as long you need, so you’ll have enough time to review what you’ve learned.

The course materials will be delivered in posts and videos, where I explain everything you need to know. Check out an example video below!

What others say

Mariska's instagram course is a really fun and unintimidating way to make a start in Dutch. If you've been putting off starting to learn the language because of fear or time or money then this really is the perfect way to dip your toe in the water. Dutch isn't easy, but it will certainly seem more so after a few days doing the Mama Dutch course!

“Kickstart Your Dutch” made learning Dutch fun and convenient. Using Instagram easily allowed lessons to be broken into small chunks, making them simple and easy to remember. It allowed me to pull out my phone and study for a few minutes at a time, when on the tram or getting ready for bed. The lessons are super helpful for anyone who has recently moved to the Netherlands, as topics like shopping and Dutch culture are typically not found in textbooks. I found the real-world examples made lessons relatable and memorable and Mariska was always available to answer any questions by posting them to the comments. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop a stronger sense of belonging and understanding, while living in the Netherlands.

About the teacher

My name is Mariska and as a teacher, I believe that learning a new language should be a stress-free and fun activity that easily integrates into your busy life. Over the years, I’ve seen so many students lose the joy of learning Dutch. After taking a typical Dutch course, you might believe that you’re either too old or too busy to learn Dutch. Or that there’s no need to learn the language because everybody speaks English.

That’s why I created this course—to give you an easy and relaxed introduction into Dutch language and culture. The best part: you can study at your own pace and in your own home (or during your commute to work).
