Tired of Duolingo, YouTube, and restarting every few weeks? Build a solid Dutch foundation, and learn the basics in 3 months.

Is this you...

You need a little push

You’re motivated to learn Dutch… but always end up putting it off. Life’s busy. You just need someone to guide you and hold you accountable.

Not making any progress

You’ve tried apps and YouTube, but nothing sticks. You’re still blanking when someone speaks Dutch to you, and it’s frustrating.

Need structure + support

You don’t want to figure it all out on your own. You want a clear plan and a Dutch teacher who actually makes it fun.

You want to start speaking Dutch!

You’re tired of just studying. You want to actually speak Dutch and feel more confident in real life.

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.

I’m Gabi, from Brazil.

I tried learning Dutch on my own with apps and YouTube videos, but I kept forgetting everything. I felt stuck. Like no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t getting anywhere.

Since joining the group class, everything changed.
In just a few weeks, I was having real conversations in Dutch.

Now, I feel proud of myself and even my Dutch friends are impressed!

And Gabi is not alone, meet Lucie!

Lucie had been trying to learn Dutch for a year, but kept hitting a wall.

Traditional group lessons didn’t fit her busy work schedule and the lack of progress left her feeling stuck and discouraged.

Then she joined Dutch Mastery Academy.

The flexible structure, supportive community, and clear explanations helped her finally move forward.

Now? Lucie is preparing for her B1 exam with a dream to join the military next year.

She’s not just learning Dutch, she’s building her future.

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. 💚

I have now finished the a1 course. I learned a lot and I can now have small conversations with friends. Every week I learn something new. I will continue now with A2. If you want to learn Dutch don't buy Babble just join DMA You will not regret it. I didn’t dare to speak Dutch before, as I thought I’m just making mistakes and I sounded ridiculous. Yasmine encourages you to keep trying in a very positive way. Elke les met haar is leuk. Ik heb veel plezier met de DMA. Yasmine's course is not like a boring ordinary textbook. Would recommend you to join if you want to start learning Dutch.

Ik ben op de week drie van DMA en het heeft me erg geholpen. I have been trying multiple online Dutch courses but it didn't teach me how to create a sentences from basic. Yasmine's emails are also very motivating and reminds me to study 😆

I look forward to improve my dutch skills with Yasmine!

Ran Kim

Yasmine's website and videos are the best I have ever seen and I would like to thank Yasmine for that! There are many online Dutch courses on the market but I feel comfortable that Yasmine have prepared this one!

I really feel that I am learning faster with Yasmine's unique way of teaching & learning.

Sena

I really like how Yasmine's course is structured. It's the right "push" I needed to unblock my speaking!

Yasmine's courses, and group classes are amazing. I immeadiately felt that was capable of much more than I thought.

Francesca

Hi.I recently started my master's program in the Netherlands and began learning Dutch. Before joining Dutch Master Academy, I worked with individual teachers but didn't feel I was making progress. The structured videos and exercises, along with the interactive group classes of Dutch Master Academy, have been incredibly beneficial for me. Being able to watch the videos at my own pace and then engage in group discussions really reinforces the knowledge I've gained. Thank you, Yasmine!

What’s Included ⬇️

Weekly Group classes

For 13 weeks, you’ll join weekly group classes with your Dutch teacher in a small group of max 4–6 students, so you’ll get all the personal attention you need.

These aren’t boring “just listen to grammar explanations” classes. You’ll be challenged to speak from day 1 in real conversations, with real feedback.

You’ll learn by doing, not by memorizing.

You’ll start speaking from day one – no more passive learning!

Video Course!

You’ll also get access to a self-paced video course, broken down week by week so it’s easy to follow.
Each lesson teaches you the grammar and vocabulary you'll use again during the live sessions, so it sticks better and feels more natural.

It’s perfect if you want flexibility, structure, and progress you can actually feel.

Finally understand grammar and vocabulary at your own pace and use it in real life!

Community & Support!

You’re not doing this alone. Inside the community platform, you can ask questions anytime, get help from your Dutch teacher, and connect with others on the same journey.

Got a question between classes? Pop it in the group. Feeling stuck? We’ve got you.

You’ll never feel alone again — we’ve got your back every step of the way.

✨ How would it feel to...

  • Speak Dutch with your partner’s family and finally be part of the conversation?
  • Never have to say "Ik spreek geen Nederlands, can you switch to English please?" again?
  • Help your kids in Dutch. From school to daily life?
  • To stop feeling like a tourist in your home country?
  • No longer feel left out when everyone around you speaks Dutch?

And to finally feel at HOME 💚

Questions?

We have answers!

I’m a bit hesitant to invest in a Dutch course
Fair question, especially if you've already tried apps or courses that didn't stick. Here's what makes this different: during the week you learn the grammar and vocabulary through short videos at your own pace, and in the weekly live class (maximum 6 students at your level) you actually speak Dutch with a teacher who corrects you on the spot. That combination is why our students start speaking from week one instead of just understanding. If you show up to class and do the weekly work, speaking Dutch is the outcome this program is built around. Not sure about your level or the format? Take our free language test or send us a message on Instagram, we're happy to think along with you.
Which level should I join?
Take our free 5-minute language test: learndutchwithyas.com/downloads/language-test. You'll know your exact level right away. After you sign up we double-check your placement, and if a group turns out too easy or too hard we simply switch you to another level. You'll never be stuck in the wrong group.
Which hours can I join?
You can see all current groups, days, times and start dates on our lesson schedule page: learndutchwithyas.com/learn-dutch/lesson-schedules. Every group runs for 13 weeks with a fixed start date and a maximum of 6 students per group, so popular time slots fill up first. If you see a group that fits your schedule, that's the one to grab. After signing up you pick your exact group, and we confirm your spot by email.
What if I cannot attend every week?
Missing one or two classes isn’t a big problem. We record all the classes so you can rewatch it afterwards. I wouldn’t postpone learning Dutch, and taking ACTION because you cannot be there for one or two classes. You can always ask questions in the group chat or next class when you didn’t understand a certain part of the class. 
I need to do the inburgering exam, will this prepare me for the exam?
Yes! The course will help you to achieve great results with inburgering exams.
If you want extra guidance you can also sign up for extra private classes so you're  100 percent sure you'll end up passing the exams!
I’m afraid I can’t keep up with the other students
That's a common worry, and it's exactly why our groups have a maximum of 6 students at the same level. Classes move at a pace everyone can follow. If your level turns out too high or too low, we can switch you to another group. And if group learning isn't your thing after all, we can look at private classes together: learndutchwithyas.com/learn-dutch/private-classes-all-levels
Can I have Private classes too?
Yes! You can join the group program and add private classes for extra speaking practice or exam prep. You can find everything about our private classes here: learndutchwithyas.com/learn-dutch/private-classes-all-levels. Or just mention it after signing up and we'll set it up for you.
Is one live class per week enough?
The live class is the speaking part, not the whole program. During the week you learn the grammar and vocabulary through the self-paced videos (2 to 3 hours in total), and in the weekly live class you put it into practice out loud with your teacher. That combination is why our students start speaking from week one instead of just understanding Dutch.
How will I learn the right pronunciation?
How many students are in a group?
Maximum 6, always at the same level. That way everyone gets to speak in every single class.
What happens after I sign up?
You get an email right away to pick your group and time slot, and you get instant access to the video course and our community. So you can already start learning before your first live class.
When does the next group start?
Groups run in fixed 13-week rounds. You can find the next start dates on our lesson schedule page: learndutchwithyas.com/learn-dutch/lesson-schedules. Seats are capped at 6 per group, so if the next start date works for you, don't wait too long to claim your spot.
I live outside Europe. Are there groups in my timezone?
Yes! We also run groups scheduled for students in the US and other time zones (on the schedule page these show as late evening or night CET). Check the lesson schedule page for the next start date that fits your timezone: learndutchwithyas.com/learn-dutch/lesson-schedules
Can my employer pay for the classes?
Yes, that happens a lot! We can invoice your employer directly. Send us a message on Instagram or an email at yasmine@learndutchwithyas.com and we'll sort it out together.
