Enter now for a chance to win a free Dutch course

Here’s your chance to get creative… To enter, please tell us what you think the funniest literal translation of a Dutch word or phrase is in your own language and/or in English.  

Dutch is full of hilarious expressions, and we want to hear the ones that make you laugh the most. Think along the lines of “to fall with the door in the house” (which actually means to get straight to the point). The more creative and well-explained your answer, the better your chances of winning!

To enter, complete and submit the form below by March 11. The winner will be announced via email.  

Extra bonus for all participants

All participants of this competition will receive a 10 percent discount when registering for a language course in 2025. You will be sent an email with your discount code right after the winner has been announced!
