You’ve settled into life in the Netherlands. You’ve got your BSN, maybe even figured out how to pronounce "Scheveningen" (sort of). And now you’re thinking: Maybe it’s time to learn Dutch for real. Well, guess what? You don’t have to do it the boring way. 

Join Koentact Dutch language school on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, for their free open evening, and get a taste of how fun, social, and surprisingly effective learning Dutch can be.

Thinking about learning Dutch? Come try it the Koentact way, for free!

What to expect from the open evening

Koentact will open the doors of their school building in Amsterdam to welcome curious newcomers, aspiring Dutch speakers, and brave souls who want to take their first step into the Dutch language.

The open evening includes a free Dutch trial lesson for beginners, a level assessment for non-beginners and a chance to get to know Koentact. 

About the event

• Doors open at 6.45pm
• Trial lesson begins at 7pm
• Location: Da Costastraat 64, Amsterdam

The trial lesson is interactive, low-pressure, and yes: even fun. You’ll meet one of Koentact’s professional-but-not-boring teachers, see how they teach, and get a taste of Dutch in action.

Spots are limited and they fill up fast, so be sure to register your spot today.

What you'll get from the open evening

Learning Dutch doesn’t have to mean textbook trauma. Koentact believes in doing the language, not just memorising it. During the open evening, you’ll:

• Get a feel for our social, interactive approach
• Take a real beginner trial lesson
• Determine your Dutch level through an assessment with one of our teachers
• Meet the team and ask all your questions
• Connect with other internationals who are on the same journey
• Get a chance of winning a 50% discount on your course (Woohoo! Korting!)

And who knows… you might even laugh. (Yes, in a Dutch lesson. It’s possible.)

What makes Koentact different?

Koentact doesn’t just teach Dutch. They create experiences where people feel connected to each other, to the language and to life in the Netherlands. 

Here’s how they do it:

• Small group classes that meet in the mornings or evenings.
• Field trips where you practice Dutch in real-life settings. Think: excursions in new areas, museum missions, street interviews and yes - een biertje en bitterbal!
• Professional, energetic teachers who love what they do.
• A school community that’s warm, fun, and incredibly international.
• Plus, the free Amsterdam Language Café, where you can meet people and practise any language: Dutch, Spanish, French, you name it.

Basically, if you want to learn Dutch and enjoy the ride, you’re in the right place.
