Speak Dutch with confidence, not perfection.
Personal 1-on-1 Dutch lessons designed around the conversations you actually have, at work, at the gemeente, and in daily life. You speak from lesson one.

WHY CONVO IN DUTCH
Most learners hit the same wall.
We're built around it.
You can read menus. You half-understand the train announcement. But the moment someone speaks back to you, your mind goes blank. That's where we start.
Speak from day one
No grammar marathons. Every lesson ends with phrases you can use this week, at work, at the bakery, with your neighbour.
Built around your life
Your job, your hobbies, your neighbourhood. You learn the Dutch you actually need, not a textbook chapter on going to the zoo.
Two clear tracks
Conversation Track to live and work in Dutch, or Inburgering Track for the exam. Same warm, no-pressure approach.
HOW IT WORKS
From first chat to first real conversation.
The same clear path for every student. No long contracts, no high-pressure sales calls.

ABOUT ROMELLE
Hi, I'm Romelle. I teach Dutch the way I wish I'd been taught languages.
I teach in English with Dutch material, and I focus on speaking, reading and understanding, the skills you actually use to live and work here.
My lessons are warm, no-pressure, and structured around your week, not around a textbook chapter that has nothing to do with your life. Whether you're prepping for the inburgering exam or just tired of being the only person at the table not getting the joke, we'll get you speaking from lesson one.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY
Real words from real students.
People who finally feel at home in Dutch.
“Before Convo in Dutch, I understood words but froze during real conversations. Now I confidently speak Dutch with colleagues and neighbours every week.”

The questions everyone asks before lesson 1.
I'm a complete beginner. Will lessons be in Dutch from day one? +
Yes, but in a gentle way. I teach in English with Dutch material, so you understand what you’re learning while still getting used to real Dutch from the start.
Are lessons online or in person? +
All lessons are currently online via Zoom. This makes it flexible and accessible wherever you live in the Netherlands.
What's the difference between Conversation Track and Inburgering Track? +
Conversation Track focuses on speaking confidently in daily life, work, shops, appointments and social situations. Inburgering Track focuses on preparing for the exam while still keeping the lessons practical and speaking-first.
How long until I can hold a real conversation? +
It depends on your starting level and how often you practise, but most students start feeling more confident in simple conversations within a few lessons.
Do you offer video courses? +
Not yet. Self-paced video courses are planned for later in 2026. You can join the early list to be the first to know when they launch.
What if I have to cancel a lesson? +
No stress. You can cancel or reschedule your lesson as long as you let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations made later than that may not be eligible for a refund.
