Dutch Brainwash is an intensive Dutch course that takes place in the centre of Amsterdam. Run by Albert Both of Talencoach, it has a unique approach that is totally different from any other language course that you’ve ever heard of before.

Owing to a very special combination of powerful learning techniques and personal coaching, great results are possible within a very short time. Within seven days you’ll notice how easy it is to speak about any subject that you like, in Dutch!

The path to clarity with Dutch Brainwash

Far too often a lack of clarity leads to poor results. Once the path is clear, it is simple. Reaching new levels in Dutch is relatively easy, but you must know how to do it. Mainly, it only works if you can see that Dutch is a logical, consistent and funny language.

Don’t worry if you are not convinced of this yet. Step by step you can learn how to construct your own sentences, how to explode your vocabulary while thinking in pictures and which mindset you can use so that you can achieve your goals even more quickly.

Seven days of Dutch

Learning Dutch seven days in a row during the daytime is the biggest time saver that you can ever imagine! One of the many positive aspects is the great energy that you will feel. Although officially you sit in a class, it does not feel like it.

For many people, it feels like sitting around the table with some colleagues or friends. A lot of interaction takes place, doubts are removed and you’ll notice how easy it is to be involved once you notice how relevant Dutch is in your personal (and professional) life! The main goal is to experience freedom when you speak Dutch!

What you will learn at Dutch Brainwash

Here’s what you can expect to gain from Dutch Brainwash:

  • Better pronunciation
  • How to construct sentences about any subject that you like
  • How to increase your vocabulary within seconds
  • What to do if Dutch people switch to English
  • How to talk about situations that are weird and crazy
  • How to sound intelligent in Dutch (with little effort from your part)
  • How to understand much much more
  • How Dutch humour works (so yes, you’ll learn some cheeky things too)
  • How to think in Dutch, so that everything becomes easier

The secret is a simple system that allows you to create thousands of sentences and to expand your vocabulary fast.
