Frequently asked questions
Can I reach B1 Dutch fully online from abroad?+
Yes, if you combine a structured course or app path with regular live speaking (tutors or exchange) and lots of listening. Pure app-only paths usually stall around A2.
What is the best free stack?+
A habit app for daily streaks, Easy Dutch or similar for real speech, a free exchange app for conversation, and occasional paid tutor sessions to correct fossilised mistakes.
How do I pick a tutor platform?+
Filter for Dutch teachers, trial lessons, and clear goals (exam vs conversation). Compare price, availability in your timezone, and reviews, then book two trials before committing.
