Want to learn how to swear the Dutch way? This event is for you

Powered byKoentact

We came, we tried, we failed — to learn Dutch. 😅 Until now! Koentact is having an Open Day on February 22, and their excellent teaching will get you from *cries in English* to *swears in Dutch* in no time!

Especially because Koentact is all about learning Dutch the fun way. (Yes, that’s possible. 😉) So, no grammar books or tiring out your brains and bottoms for hours on end in dull classrooms.

Instead, think: ✅ actually talking to locals, ✅ touring the city, and ✅ getting out of the classroom and diving straight into Dutch culture. Echt waar!

Curious? Read on and find out all about Koentact’s February Open Day! 👇🏻

So, what’s the deal?

Koentact is an Amsterdam-based Dutch language school (if you haven’t figured that out yet) with an interactive and all-around fun approach to learning Dutch.

On February 22 from 6:45 PM to 9 PM, they will open their doors to everyone who’s eager to dive into the intricacies of this guttural language.

During their Open Day event, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • attend a free trial lesson for beginners,
  • have your Dutch level assessed by professionals,
  • meet the teachers,
  • learn all about Koentact and their philosophy.

What makes Koentact different?

Koentact has an out-of-the-classroom approach to learning Dutch. What does that mean? Well, instead of reading about Lisa scanning the menu at a Dutch restaurant, you will just go to a restaurant yourself and do the same. Lekker, zeg!

You’re also being pushed to actually talk to Dutchies on the street, instead of just speaking to your teacher who will talk extra slowly just for you. 😉

Bonus: Where else would you learn Dutch swear words other than outside of the classroom? We promise you won’t find any in that Nederlands voor beginners book of yours. 📚

Cara moved to the Netherlands at fifteen and she is here to stay! After all, there is so much to love about it, except maybe the bread (as every German will tell you). Next to finishing up her bachelor's degree in European politics (dry), Cara loves to do yoga, swim, and cook delicious veggie food.

  1. It would be nice to have this on line in U.S. I know quite a little Dutch but it’s 100 years old. Would like to learn a more modern approach.
