Dutch Studio

Help

How every part of Dutch Studio works. Five tabs at the bottom: Learn, Grammar, Translate, Practise and Me.

The Learn tab: the module's lessons on a path

Learn: the path

  • Modules of seven short lessons, each module a stop somewhere in the Netherlands.
  • The next lesson opens when you finish one. Tap the module's banner for its introduction, words and grammar.
  • Stars, XP and a daily streak keep you going.
  • Know some Dutch? Me › Settings › Level test skips modules.
  • A2 or B1: the app asks which exam you take and shows that course first; the A2 · B1 switch at the top shows the other. Change it in Me › Settings › Your exam.
  • Today the 15 modules are the A2 course. For B1 they are the foundation; the B1 modules are being added.
A lesson question answered right

A lesson

  • A few minutes, one question a screen, read aloud.
  • Tap answers in the first modules; type later, as in the exam.
  • 1–3 stars: three when all is right the first time.
  • Say-it-aloud exercises listen until you stop talking.
A word's meaning after tapping it

Your words

  • Tap any Dutch word to see what it means.
  • The star keeps it (Pro); Phrase from this sentence keeps a few words together.
  • Saw a word somewhere else? The Translate tab, Dutch to English and back (Pro).
  • Kept words come back in Practise › Review when they are due.
An exam part's page with practice and mock exams

Practise

  • Every exam part in the exam's own format. A2 exams · B1 exams at the top; KNM is one exam for both levels, so it is in both.
  • A practice round is a short set; Practise again gives a new one.
  • Listening: Show the text shows what was said. Reading: the proof is marked after you check.
  • Review: your mistakes and kept words. Core 1000: everyday words in 40 themes.
A mock exam question with the exam clock

Mock exams

  • A2: as long and as timed as DUO's:
  • Lezen 25 · 65 minLuisteren 25 · 45 minSpreken 16 · 35 minSchrijven 4 · 40 minKNM 40 · 45 min
  • A warning at 15 minutes left; DUO's result sentence at the end.
  • B1 (Staatsexamen NT2 Programma I): the mock exams are being written, as long and as timed as the real ones. Until a part has its own, its page links the official practice exams.
  • Every mock exam comes with Pro.
A writing task with an answer typed, ready to check

Writing and the AI teacher

  • Check my text: the AI teacher reads your text, or listens to your answer, and says what to fix.
  • Free: the AI teacher once a day. Pro: 10 times a day. Pro Coach: on every answer.
  • No AI check left, or offline? The app checks what it can itself: words that are not Dutch, common mistakes, word order.
  • Practice, not an exam result: it can be wrong.
A KNM question with the reason for the answer

KNM

  • Questions about Dutch society in the exam's eight themes. The same KNM exam at A2 and B1.
  • The reason for every answer.
  • Key terms as flashcards; mistakes come back in Review.
A grammar topic: the present tense

Grammar

  • Each topic in plain English, with examples.
  • Common mistakes, and practice for each topic.
The Me tab with your progress

Your account

  • Not needed to learn.
  • With one, your progress is the same on every phone: Me › Settings › Account, with Apple, Google or a code by e-mail (no password), on up to two phones or tablets at a time.
  • Had an account with a password? Sign in with a code sent to the same e-mail: your progress comes along.
  • Delete it: Me › Settings › Account › Delete my account (more).
Me › Settings

Settings

  • Your exam (A2, B1, Staatsexamen NT2, or not sure), Daily goal, Exam dates, Level test, Appearance (light, dark and colour themes), Sounds and voice.
  • Reminders: up to four a day, on the days you choose.
  • About: the version and build, worth quoting to support, and any sentence your phone read in its own voice, with why.
