From your first words to fluent conversation: everyday vocabulary, grammar explained step by step, and an accent coach that hears which sounds you get wrong and tells you how to fix them. Follow a guided path, or study whatever you like.

/x/ → /ɡ/ in Groningen
The Dutch g is made at the back of the throat, like the ch in Scottish loch, not the g of go. Keep your tongue low and let the air scrape through.
Almost there: this sentence comes back in your next session.

Accent coach
It hears which sound went wrong
Most apps check that you said the words. This one listens to every sound.
- Read a sentence aloud. You hear it first in a natural Dutch voice.
- Two checks, both must pass. Were your words understood? Was each sound clear?
- A coach explains the miss. Not just a score: which sound, and how to make it.
- Misses come back. A sentence you didn't pass is waiting at the start of your next session.
