Business Dutch course online — finally speak at work
You can survive a Dutch office in English — but careers are built in Dutch. This course drills business sentences to reflex, so the coffee chat and the overleg stay in Dutch.
You know the loop: you start in Dutch, a colleague politely switches to English — and a year later you still “don’t speak”. Meanwhile the borrel, the stand-up banter and the corridor decisions all run in Dutch.
To stay in the conversation you need sentences on reflex — greetings, interjections, polite disagreements — fluent enough that nobody has a reason to switch. That is what this course does. We know the fight first-hand: Taalhammer was born in Amsterdam.
How it works
Create with AI
Add YOUR industry’s vocabulary and YOUR situations — the stand-up, the client email, the chat with your manager. AI builds the Dutch sentences, context and audio.
Spaced repetition
Reviews return right before you would forget — office phrases become reflex. Repetition is sparring before the real overleg.
Language Radio
Business sentences play in the background — on the bike to work. You soak in the language of the office before you walk in.
Who is it for
- You work in the Netherlands or Belgium and want office conversations to stop flipping to English.
- You are preparing for a job interview in Dutch.
- You want to grow your career — and senior roles and relationships run in Dutch.
- Your “official” Dutch works, but office small talk is a struggle.
Method & curriculum
The course is built on the Core collections and business topic collections — designed the way you naturally acquire a language: understand first, speak sooner.
The rhythm is word → phrase → sentence: a new phrase from a meeting or email returns in full sentences — statements, questions, negations — until it sticks. Every lesson builds on the last, in a seamless spiral.
And your industry’s vocabulary and your real situations go in via the Creator — learned with the same method.

As a polyglot I tested all the other tools like Anki, Quizlet, and Memrise. But Taalhammer is in a league of its own. — Martin
Frequently asked questions
Everyone in my company speaks English anyway — why bother?
English is enough to survive. But promotions, relationships and the decisions made over coffee run in Dutch — and the conversation only stays in Dutch when you answer fluently.
How is this different from a general Dutch course?
The material lives in work situations — the overleg, emails, phone calls — and the Creator adds your industry’s vocabulary that no ready-made course covers.
Will it prepare me for a job interview?
Yes — you drill typical interview questions and answers in whole sentences, and add your own answers via the Creator.
How much time do I need per day?
Ten to fifteen focused minutes a day with well-scheduled reviews beats an hour of passive classes once a week.
Is the course free?
