About us
We are an Amsterdam-based language school helping internationals learn Dutch in a way that truly sticks. We see language as more than grammar — it’s a bridge to connection, culture, and feeling at home.
Our courses focus on real-life conversations, cultural insight, and everyday successes. Classes are interactive, welcoming, and built around the idea that making mistakes is essential to learning.
Slim Dutch is a vibrant community where students don't just learn the language — they live it.
Our philosophy
Our course is taught from a place of love for our students and community.
We create a warm, unplugged space - no screens, just real conversations, free drinks, and a living-room vibe that puts people at ease.
We make people fall in love with the culture, and inspire them to integrate properly.
Our students don’t just learn Dutch; they make local friends, feel at home, and become part of the city.
Our methodology
Students can go from zero to fluent in 6 months.
We make students want to practice every day, and we offer more than just language lessons.
We host borrels, concerts, and tournaments to create a community environment where they can thrive.
Our courses focus on confidence building and role playing.
We do this with a lot of humour and games.
Whilst we are fun, we also create a strict learning environment to ensure students progress quickly.
