What we're building

Our classroom & community space

Our location is more than a place to study. It’s where we host:

  • In-person Dutch courses

  • Dutch mingle events

  • Social and language meet-ups

  • A safe space where mistakes are encouraged

A place where learning Dutch feels natural and social.

Start learning the basics

Tupker Taaltraining is excellent! The lessons are clear, personal and very effective. The trainer is patient, supportive and truly helps you grow in your Dutch. Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning the language!

My husband and I took the beginners 6 week course that started in January.
It was a great "dip the toe in" starter course that really helped us get a solid foundation to not only understand the mechanics and structure of words, phrases and sentences but also a way for us to somewhat know what we were doing when we started using more and more Dutch in our daily lives.
Since we concluded the course our Dutch "skills" have grown layer by layer thanks to Tupkertaaltraining.
We cannot wait to start the next level!

I highly recommend Tupkertaaltraining if you want to learn Dutch in a fun way! Sofie has been the best teacher and I can’t wait to become fluent thanks to my lessons with her.
