In-company Dutch (NT2) training
My in-company Dutch courses are designed to help international employees feel confident, understood and connected in the Dutch community. By learning Dutch, they integrate more smoothly into their teams and feel more at home in the Netherlands as a whole.

How it works
Get in touch
Contact me to discuss your organisation’s needs, preferred format (small group or private), and scheduling.
Intake and level assessment
Participants who are not absolute beginners (A0) complete a short (online) intake to determine their current CEFR level and learning goals. This ensures the right starting point and optimal group composition.
Proposal
You will receive a clear proposal outlining the program structure, timeline and investment.
Start the course
Once confirmed, we start the training at your office or chosen location.
Combine with movement sessions!
What makes a Lot of Learning unique is the integration of language learning with movement.
Dutch language courses can be combined with my professionally guided fitness bootcamps, led by me personally. These sessions strengthen both teamwork and performance. Movement enhances focus and memory, making it a powerful support for language learning. The bootcamps can be conducted entirely in Dutch, allowing participants to practise naturally while being active together.
Fitness sessions can be booked as a package alongside a language course or as an add-on to an existing program.
You can schedule a session directly before or after a language class, or as a seperate activity.
Finished studying? Let’s get moving, reinforce what you’ve learned, and build the fittest team in the company!
