This is the first time I’ve really noticed a big improvement. Not just in my Dutch skills, but also in my confidence to actually speak the language. The method from his book and podcast is brilliant, and Max’s lessons are insanely entertaining. He’s such a great teacher! Hartelijk bedankt!

Ana (Spain)

Listening Max’s book was a great way to learn Dutch! Its fun stories teach tons of vocabulary that is useful for everyday conversations and provide insight into common Dutch situations (schools, children, meeting friends, etc.) 10/10 recommendation!

Hannah (USA)

Max uses a method that feels the most natural way of learning a new language. His classes are fun and effective. I have been learning Dutch with him almost 2 years and I am quite happy with his classes and his method.

Natural Speaking Practice

No English. No grammar rules. No memorization. No blabla about the weather. Real talk, real topics, from day 0. You'll be so happy after 1,5 hours of Dutch complex and meaningful interaction!

Content is King

WHAT you talk about is key. In these speaking courses we talk for three sessions about one topic. We go deep. Depending on the group, we talk about personalities, Dutch history, culture, music, art, politics and even philosophy and literature. You'll love it, I'm sure.

Example image
Cultural understanding

Each theme will be related to Dutch language and culture. We'll not just speak about art in general, for example. Will dive into Dutch musea, painters and the architecture of Rotterdam. There is also explicite time for you to share your culture with the others.

Why the method works so well

Science-based learning

  • The natural method is a proven system, based on decades of scientific research. Linguists found you can listen and read your way to fluency. This method is called natural, since all babies do it.

  • Our interesting novel changes everything, because you actually WANT to understand the text, video or podcast. What a difference with those dry text book texts, right?

  • Learn to talk about complex stuff, by talking about complex stuff. We do it in a controlled environment, and you prepare the topic. It's like a rehearsal for real-life!

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss a class?

You can miss up to two classes in a 12-week course without any issues. If you tell us in advance, we'll record the session for you.


If you expect to miss three or four classes, it’s better not to join this course!

What is the homework?

Before each class you should dive into the topic, by consuming the prescribed content. This can be a video, a text, a podcast or even an online personality test in Dutch :). Without this preparation, the class will not be useful.

Apart from this, we give you one optional speaking or writing task. If you have time, you can do it. The teacher will correct it and give feedback.

What materials do we use?

This speaking course is about 4 themes in total, depending on the group and the group level. Some examples of what we have worked with with B1 groups:

  • The Dutch Elections of 2025

  • Cultural celebrations

  • Dutch history & the Second World War

  • Dutch Slang

These are some examples of what we have worked with, with B2 groups

  • Psychology and personality tests

  • Famous painters of Holland

  • Dutch Philosophers

  • The good and the bad of Artificial Intelligence

  • Dutch swear words

How long does the preparation take?

For a 1.5-hour lesson, you should expect around 1.5 hours of preparation. Some weeks you have more time, some weeks less. That's okay!

How long will it take me to reach the next level?

Reaching the next level requires many hours of contact with Dutch, and our speaking course is only one part of those hours. This is how long it takes:

B1 to B2 takes about four speaking courses. If you do more at home, you will be faster. If you do less, you will be slower.

Taking an intensive course is twice as fast!

What is the homework?

Before each class you should dive into the topic, by consuming the prescribed content. This can be a video, a text, a podcast or even an online personality test in Dutch :). Without this preparation, the class will not be useful.

Apart from this, we give you one optional speaking or writing task. If you have time, you can do it. The teacher will correct it and give feedback.

How will I learn grammar?

The courses include no explicit grammar instruction.
Instead, you will practice all the necessary structures in an implicit, natural way. This allows you to speak and write correctly at your level without learning long lists of rules.

However, if you have important questions, we will answer them. There is no need to be dogmatic...

How many students are in each group?

Each group has a minimum of 3 students and a maximum of 5 students.


This ensures that everyone gets plenty of speaking time! You will grow as a group. Careful, you might make friends.

For who is this course?

This course is for serious Dutch learners who are mainly focused at speaking. Don't do this course if you only want to pass an exam. Or if you just want to learn the basics.

Our school is for people who want to go all the way to living a Dutch life. We'll help you every step along the way.

How do I know if this course is right for me?

You will usually have a good feeling about whether this approach fits you, but you can never know 100% in advance.
What we can say is that all students so far have been extremely happy with this natural way of learning Dutch.

To make your decision risk-free:
If, after two classes, you feel that this method is not right for you and you tell me, you will receive a 100% refund.

What if I don't like the classes?

If you don't like the course after two speaking sessions, I will give you all your money back. For this guarantee, of course you have to be there the first two sessions.

What if I do not know my level?

Please book a free intake below. We will check your level together, and find you the right group!

For me (Max) it all started with learning Spanish for my partner Marta.

Now I speak 6 languages on different levels. I wrote two books for Dutch learners. All around Holland and Belgium, schools use my books.

Because it works. It will work for you too.

See you in class!
