Why learn Dutch?

Learning Dutch provides unique advantages in the Netherlands, a global hub for technology, finance, and trade. As Dutch is closely related to English, it’s particularly accessible for English speakers, requiring approximately 1,000-1,500 vocabulary words for basic fluency. An investment of 600-750 hours usually suffices for general proficiency. Key grammar features include the use of articles ('de', 'het'), gender understanding, and verb conjugations, particularly in the present, past, and future tenses. Though Dutch grammar is relatively straightforward, mastering it allows for clearer communication and a deeper connection with Dutch culture, which can be particularly beneficial in professional and travel contexts.
