Discover how in-company Dutch courses in Amsterdam can make a difference for your international employees at work
With over 10 years of experience, we understand better than anyone how important it is for international employees not only to perform well at work, but also to feel involved and at home within your organization and in the Netherlands.
Recent research shows that more than half of the internationals in the Netherlands find it difficult to make Dutch friends (source: Internations.org, Expat Insider 2024). As an employer, you can make a real difference here.
By offering Dutch lessons to your employees right at the workplace, you help them learn the language faster while giving your colleagues a warm welcome, creating genuine connections, and strengthening that all-important team spirit.
Helping your employees feel at home in Dutch life helps your company grow.
That’s why our in-company Dutch courses are more than just language lessons; they’re a way to connect people. We bring Dutch learning straight to your office or online, in a relaxed and familiar setting where your team feels comfortable to learn, laugh, and grow together. Each course is tailored to your company culture and industry, so everything from role plays to everyday phrases is instantly useful in your team’s daily work and conversations. It’s practical, personal, and designed to strengthen both language skills and team spirit.

Our in-company Dutch courses in Amsterdam are loved by tech companies, international scale-ups, hotels, pharmaceutical brands, and organisations in the innovation sector, basically, any workplace where people from different countries come together. Think of companies like bunq (engineering & R&D teams), global hotel chains, and fast-growing tech companies with developers from over twelve nationalities. In all these settings, the goal goes beyond learning Dutch: it’s about building connection, confidence, and collaboration at work.
Offering an in-company Dutch course is one of the simplest ways to invest in your team’s well-being and connection. It strengthens communication, boosts confidence, and helps international employees feel more at home, both at work and in the Netherlands. Besides faster progress (because lessons are directly linked to daily work life), it also builds stronger teams. Colleagues learn to understand each other not only linguistically but also culturally, creating a more inclusive and positive work environment. Bonus: companies often notice fewer misunderstandings, smoother collaboration, and happier employees who stay longer.
