In-company Dutch course for employees

Does your company want to help the international employees feel more at home in the Netherlands? Koentact’s in-company Dutch course is designed to give your team the language skills they need for everyday conversations in the Netherlands, with Dutch colleagues, maybe clients (to break the ice, you need to be able to speak about the weather, of course), and the local community. These Dutch lessons for employees help your team communicate better and feel more at home in the Netherlands.

Why choose in-company Dutch lessons?

Tailored to your company

We bring the course to you. Whether it’s at the office or online, we adapt the lessons to your team’s office, level, goals, and schedule. Learning together in a familiar environment makes it easier (and more fun) for your team to stay engaged. Additionally, it saves time as employees do not have to travel to the centre of Amsterdam to visit our language school.

Focus on integration, not just vocabulary

This course isn’t about business Dutch. It’s more about helping your team feel confident navigating daily life in the Netherlands. From small talk at the coffee machine to chats with clients or neighbours – this course helps make Dutch part of the employee’s everyday life.

Fun, social, and full of energy

Our classes are anything but boring. Expect role-plays, games, quizzes, and even Dutch lunches where employees can practice their skills in a relaxed and social setting. It has a reason our school has the motto: ‘ learn Dutch the fun way’. Koentact’s trainers bring creativity, energy, and a personal touch to every session. And of course, when the participants in the class hit a milestone (like finishing a presentation in Dutch, the bitterballen are on us!

Who is this course for?

Our In-company Dutch course is ideal for companies that:

• Want to help international employees integrate into Dutch life and culture.
• Want smoother communication between Dutch and non-Dutch speakers in international teams. Explaining a bit of the cultural differences is part of the course.
• Work closely with Dutch clients and want to build stronger connections (even if it’s just greeting in Dutch, this already helps a lot to create a connection!).

What your team will gain

• Better communication: Employees will be able to hold basic conversations in Dutch, both at work and in daily life.
• Cultural insight: Learning the language also means understanding the “Dutch way” of doing things.
• Increased confidence: Language skills boost confidence at work, in meetings, and outside the office too.
• Team bonding: Learning together is a great way to connect and build stronger team dynamics.
