Make your workplace feel like home with Taalthuis

Do your international colleagues sometimes feel out of place in your Dutch work environment? Help them feel more at home with some Dutch lessons. By arranging an in-company Dutch course with Taalthuis, they won’t just learn the language, they’ll become part of the team.

Is English your office lingo? A colleague who feels integrated in the Netherlands is happier and more likely to stay longer. Learning Dutch doesn't just mean communication becomes easier - life becomes easier, fuller and richer.

See how an in-company Dutch course can benefit your team

Why choose Taalthuis?

Taalthuis is known for its fresh, engaging approach to language learning. Their in-company courses are flexible, practical and will be tailored to your organisation. Whether you have a small team or a large department, Taalthuis offers lessons that fit your schedule and your goals.

These courses go beyond vocabulary and grammar. The focus is on workplace communication: real situations, real conversations. Learning with colleagues builds confidence, strengthens connections and makes practising the language a shared experience.

What can your team expect from a Taalthuis course?

  • Fully customised: For all levels, from beginner to advanced, with sector-specific vocabulary where needed.
  • Stronger team spirit: Learning together strengthens bonds. Taalthuis creates a safe and enjoyable space to speak up and grow.
  • Cultural know-how included: Alongside the language, your team will gain insight into Dutch workplace culture, from the structure of meetings to the all-important vrijmibo (Friday afternoon drinks).

A taste of Dutch office life

Knowing how a Dutch office functions can help international staff find their feet more quickly and feel more confident in their daily activities. In addition to improving their Dutch, a Taalthuis course also makes sure they learn about Dutch office customs such as:

  • Lunch = sandwiches: Forget the hot meals - lunch in the Netherlands usually means two slices of bread with cheese or peanut butter and some veggies.
  • Vrijmibo is sacred: The Friday drinks are a Dutch tradition - informal, relaxed, and perfect for practising new language skills.
  • Say it like it is: Dutch directness isn’t rude, it’s efficient. Your team will learn how to understand and use it with confidence.

Language learning with a smile

Every Taalthuis course is interactive, energising and tailored to your team’s needs. Expect games, podcasts, practical tasks, and useful vocabulary. Because learning should be fun, and with Taalthuis, it is.

Ready to help your team thrive?

Want to invest in language, inclusion and workplace happiness? Taalthuis' in-company courses help your international employees feel more confident, connected and at home in your organisation and the Netherlands.
