Leeg laten

This is for you if you’ve studied Dutch up to A2/B1 level. You understand a lot of what’s happening around you — but you still don’t speak.

Maybe you’re afraid of making mistakes. Or you feel like you sound like a child because the words don’t come when you need them.
But let’s be honest — you’re not a beginner anymore. And you’re done holding back.

You want more ease. More connection. More real-life conversations — in Dutch.
You want to stop hiding behind English and start showing up as yourself — in the language of the country you now call home.

You want to feel part of things. Not just nod along, but actually say what you mean.

And you don’t want to do it alone. You want to grow alongside other smart, motivated people who get it — both online and in person.

You’re ready. Let’s go.

The goal of this program isn’t to take you from level X to level Y. The goal is to get you speaking Dutch — more often, and with more ease — in all areas of your life.

With your neighbours, your colleagues, your in-laws. In everyday situations where it really matters.

And as you start speaking more, your level will naturally take a big leap.
But what truly matters is this: that you feel more confident in your daily life.
More calm. More relaxed. More you — in Dutch.

Think you need to be there every single session to make real progress? You don’t. This program is designed for real life – and for real people with full calendars.

Yes, the live sessions are very powerful. They’re 1 hour and 15 minutes long, with space for everyone to speak and time to practice with me and in break-out rooms.
But the real shift doesn’t only happen in class. It happens in your daily life – when you’re speaking at the bakery, with your colleagues, or sending me a quick message in Dutch.

That’s why you’ve got me on speed dial 3 days a week – for questions, practice, and support via audio messages on Telegram.
I give you personal feedback while you speak and show you how to sound more natural, more fluent, and more like you – in Dutch.

This is a flexible program that moves with you. You won’t fall behind – you’ll keep moving forward, week by week, step by step.

No problem at all. I record every session, so you can always catch up by watching or listening later – in your own time.
And that week, you can still stay engaged by asking questions or practising via audio messages in our Telegram group.

Life happens. This program is built to keep you moving, even when your schedule gets full.

We starten 2 nieuwe groepen, in de week van 6 februari.

• Groep 1: Wednesdays from 11:45 – 13:00.
• Can’t make it to a session? Then join the other group on Friday 9:15 – 10:30

No, the sessions for this program are during the day. 

All of my students arrange their work around the sessions. 

It’s the ideal time for learning. Evenings are for resting – no one has real energy left by then (me included!). A lunchtime session is a perfect reset in the middle of your day. You’re welcome to bring your lunch and eat during class.

So if your first reaction was “I can’t,” maybe ask yourself: what would need to shift to make this possible?

Block your calendar. Talk to your manager. Ask a neighbour or a nanny to step in for 75 minutes a week.

Four months of showing up for your Dutch – consistently, with a little effort – can shift how you feel in your daily Dutch life for years to come.

There are no sessions during school holidays and there’s a big break in december – so we’ll end in March.
You’ll receive the full schedule before we begin!

Yesss — you’re in, lieverd!

Send me a message on WhatsApp saying:
“Hi Mariska, my name is [your name], and I think I want to join Dutch Confidence.”

That’s it. I’ll take it from there and we’ll finalise the rest together.
Let’s do this — your Dutch is waiting!

Yes of course. You can pay in 4 terms. 

Yes, absolutely. I can send an invoice to your employer or to you directly – whatever works best. Just let me know what details need to be on it, and I’ll take care of it.
