You’re motivated to learn Dutch, but need flexibility
You’re busy, your schedule changes a lot, or you live in a different time zone. A live class just doesn’t work for you right now. But you still want guidance and structure to reach your goals.
Self-Paced Video Course (A0-B1)
Live classes don’t fit your schedule? But still want real progress? Without structure, it’s easy to lose motivation and give up on learning Dutch. This self-paced video course gives you structure and flexibility.
Tired of struggling to learn Dutch alone?
… without wondering what to learn next.
How many times have you promised yourself...
"This time I’ll master Dutch," only to give up a few weeks later? How many hours have you wasted trying to learn on your own, only to feel frustrated? You start to wonder if it’s even possible for you. You feel like you’re stuck, always starting over, never truly making progress.
It’s not your fault. You’ve been trying to do it alone, with no structure, no feedback, and no one to cheer you on.
You probably recognize this: You start strong with Duolingo, podcasts, or Dutch TV. But then life happens. You get busy, skip a few days…and suddenly you're back at square one. What you worked so hard to learn? Gone. And you're stuck in that same cycle, starting over. Again.
Now, imagine things are different:
- You overhear strangers chatting in Dutch and understand every word, feeling proud and confident.
- You confidently order coffee, ask directions, or chat with your neighbors. Without second-guessing every word.
- You’re at a party, laughing in Dutch, fully part of the group, not just listening from the sidelines.
That’s the shift Dutch Mastery Academy creates. No more unfinished courses. No more “maybe next time.”
This is where it finally clicks.
Most self-study fails because…
You don’t know what to study each week
There's no structure — just a pile of videos
You lose motivation after a few lessons
You forget where you left off and give up
You feel overwhelmed trying to figure it out alone
This course is different because…
You follow a clear weekly roadmap
You can mark lessons as ‘done’ and track your progress
Each explanation is in clear, simple Dutch (with visuals)
You can learn when you want — no live sessions needed
You’ll stay consistent (even when life gets busy)
How would it feel …
… to finally have a clear structure and all your learning materials in one place — ready on your computer, phone, or tablet — so you can learn Dutch step-by-step at your own pace, without ever wondering what to study next?
Imagine this: You’ve got 30 minutes, you open your laptop, phone, or tablet, and instead of guessing what to do…
- You dive straight into a lesson that fits perfectly into your weekly plan.
- You check off what you’ve completed.
- You feel progress. Real progress.
Unlike most self-paced courses that just throw a bunch of videos at you and leave you to figure it out, this course guides you week-by-week. You always know exactly what to study and when, even if your schedule changes.
This kind of clarity makes it easier to stay consistent. Even after the initial motivation fades. You’re no longer starting over every week or feeling guilty for falling behind. You're learning Dutch in a way that fits your life and that consistency brings peace, confidence, and results.
In just three months, you’ll be ready for the next level. Finally, a self-paced course that doesn’t feel lonely.
By the end of Dutch Mastery Academy, you'll be able to ...
- Have conversations with Dutch natives without feeling stressed
- Have the confidence to speak Dutch, even if you're still making a mistake or two.
- Crack a joke in Dutch so everyone finally knows how funny you actually are!
And most importantly you'll feel at home in your new home country.
Don’t think it’s possible to learn Dutch without live classes?
These students thought the same — until they started this course:
I'm already reading books and having small conversations only after 2 months of studying with Yasmine.
I have only followed Yas' course for a few weeks, and I'm already pleased about the advance I have noticed in my language skills.
I love the practical approach of the course. I'm learning vocabulary that I actually use.
I'm already seeing improvement in my speaking abilities and I have built my vocabulary significantly.
Welcome, I'm Yas!
What’s better than a certified teacher? One who’s been in your shoes.
I had to learn French in school and I hated it. Years later, I moved to France and tried learning the language again as an adult. I was working full-time, feeling overwhelmed, and constantly embarrassed that I still couldn’t speak fluently.
I went through all the struggles you're going through now:
- Trying Duolingo.
- Stressing about grammar.
- Memorizing rules that natives don’t even use.
- And still not being able to hold a conversation.
After 11 years of studying French the “traditional” way, I still couldn’t confidently talk to native speakers. I felt frustrated, behind, and like something was wrong with me.
That's why I created the Dutch Mastery Academy, so you wouldn't have to go through what I did.
And guess what? It worked.
I’ve now helped hundreds of expats learn Dutch, and even got featured in the Gazet van Antwerpen for my work.
So if you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like maybe learning Dutch just isn’t for you — I get it. I’ve been there. But I promise you: there’s a better way. 💚
