Learning Dutch? Then you need this storybook + audiobook combo. 🎶 🎧

It’s like having a Dutch teacher in your ears, anytime, anywhere.

You're already doing your best. Following lessons, watching videos, studying grammar, maybe even taking a course. But understanding spoken Dutch?

That’s still a struggle.

Everything goes too fast. You keep missing words. You freeze in conversations. And no matter how many lists you study… the words don’t show up when you actually need them.

You listen, but you don’t understand.

And reading feels heavy too Dutch sentences are long, the grammar distracts you, and it’s hard to stay motivated.

You waste time re-listening. You guess words. You “translate in your head.”

You’re putting in effort… but the progress feels slow.

And when you do try to speak, the right words just aren't there, your brain goes blank.

This Dutch StoryBook + Audiobook finally changes that.

This story-based method actually works:

  • You train your ear naturally (slow + normal speed audio)
  • No memorizing lists — words repeat inside a real story
  • You finally understand Dutch sentences in context
  • It fits ANY level (A0–B2 friendly, no overwhelm)
  • Short episodes make it easy to stay consistent
  • Follow the story with or without reading — your choice

I love the Dutch ebook! It contains useful advice for a Dutch learner. I have added these tips to how I'm learning Dutch, and it's been helping me a lot.

I LOVE the Dutch ebook!

Stephanie

This is the first time Dutch feels easy. Listening to the story and reading the text helped me understand words I already knew but never recognised when people said them. Such a big difference!

Leandro

I love the audiobook! I understand so much more now because I hear the sentences in a natural way. Thank you Max!

Mina

The audiobook made me feel less scared of Dutch. Even when I didn’t understand everything, the story kept me engaged and I noticed I understood more each time. Amazing method!

Sofia

This is exactly what I needed. I always struggled with listening… but with this story, I finally understand why. The audio + exercises really helped me learn in a more natural way.

Ruth

I listen every day on my way to work. My Dutch colleagues told me I speak better already and I didn’t even “study,” I just listened to the story. I’m so happy!

Ibrahim

The vocabulary list + audio together? Game changer. I could finally connect the words I know with the words I hear. Dutch is starting to feel more familiar.

Alicia

I never understood real Dutch people… But after listening to your story, I suddenly recognise words in conversations. I didn’t know it could happen this fast. Dank je wel Max!

Is This Book for Me?

Let’s find out. Do any of these sound familiar?

You’re learning Dutch on your own…

But you’re not sure how to practice listening & reading. Videos feel random, podcasts are too fast, and you keep missing the meaning. This storybook finally gives you structure and episodes you can actually follow.

You’re following a course…

But once class ends, spoken Dutch disappears from your brain. You feel behind when natives talk. This storybook is the sidekick that helps the words finally stick.

You keep translating everything in your head…

You understand the words, but freeze when it’s time to speak. Your brain goes English → Dutch instead of Dutch → meaning. This storybook trains real-time understanding, not translating.

You’ve tried memorizing long vocabulary lists…

You “know” the words but go blank in real conversations. Nothing seems to transfer to real life.
This storybook repeats vocabulary in context so it finally stays in your brain.

How will this StoryBook + Audiobook make your life easier?

  • Already taking a course? Use this to finally understand the Dutch you hear.
  • Studying on your own? Just press play, no prep, no grammar drills.
  • Only have 5 minutes a day? Each episode is a bite-sized reading and listening session.
  • Commuting or traveling? Take the book with you and learn hands-free.
  • Hate textbooks? This method feels like a Netflix series, not studying.

It’s simple, structured, and designed to make learning Dutch feel lighter, calmer, and actually enjoyable.

Not sure if this AUDIO-BOOK right for your level?

In this quick video, I’ll guide you through the audio-book. So you can see that it actually fits your level and goals.

Welcome, I'm Max, Yas' sister!

I’m a certified teacher with over 5 years of experience helping young adults learn Dutch fast so they can join the Belgian school system without any problems. And trust me… even for young adults, learning a language isn’t easy.

But here’s something most people don’t know:
right now, I’m in the same position as you.

I recently moved to Colombia, and from the moment I arrived… I stopped speaking English completely. New country, new language, new life.

So how did I prepare myself before moving here?

I listened. A lot.
Hours and hours of Spanish podcasts, while cooking, cleaning, walking, anything.

And the crazy part? When I landed in Colombia… I could already speak basic Spanish. Not because I studied… but because I had been listening.

That’s when it hit me:
Step 1 of learning any language is INPUT. Your brain needs to hear the language before it can use it.

And that’s exactly why I created this audiobook, and why I’m building the full audiobook series.

So you can learn Dutch the same natural way I learned Spanish: by listening, understanding, and letting the language become familiar… before ever feeling pressure to speak.

Got questions?

We've got the answers!

What if I don’t understand everything when I listen?
That’s normal and part of the method. You get the full transcript, vocabulary support, and slow + natural-speed audio. Each episode builds on the previous one, so your comprehension grows episode by episode.
Is this story suitable for my level?
Yes! The audiobook is written for A0–B2 learners. Beginners can follow because the story repeats vocabulary naturally, and intermediates love it because it strengthens listening, structure, and flow.
Do I need any other course or can I use this on its own?
You can absolutely use it on its own. But if you are following a course, this audiobook becomes the perfect sidekick to improve your listening, vocabulary, and confidence between classes.
How long are the episodes? Will this fit into my day?
Yes! Each episode is short and manageable usually just a few minutes.
You can listen while commuting, cleaning, cooking, or during a 5-minute break.
