Skype Dutch lessons

You don't need much to learn Dutch with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

• Hardware:
  • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
  • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
  • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
  • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
• Software:
  • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
  • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
  • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Dutch.

We are rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and have been featured in the WebUser Language Awards and the Times Online.

Additionally, our friendly customer service team is available to address any questions and concerns. We also offer an extra trial lesson if you're not completely satisfied with your Dutch tutor after your first class.

We help individuals achieve success in official Dutch language proficiency exams by connecting them with expert native teachers. We tailor our approach to each learner’s needs, leveraging advanced video conferencing technology to deliver interactive, real-time lessons that immerse students in Dutch. Our native instructors bring a deep knowledge of the language's nuances and the specific requirements of proficiency exams, guiding students through all facets of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

To address the unique challenges of the exams, we offer targeted preparation programs designed for maximum effectiveness. Whether you’re preparing for the Staatsexamen Nederlands als Tweede Taal (NT2) or other recognized Dutch proficiency tests, our teachers craft personalized lesson plans to align with each exam’s format and expectations. Students engage in intensive grammar practice, expand their vocabulary, and experience simulated test environments. Additionally, our instructors provide insights into Dutch cultural contexts and idiomatic expressions, ensuring you are fully prepared to excel in the tests and communicate confidently in Dutch.

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Dutch takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Dutch classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
