What we’re about
Taalhuis Amsterdam is a house for languages, located in the heart of Amsterdam, where you can learn and improve your Dutch and Mediterranean languages. Because we believe that language and culture go hand-in-hand, we organize events outside the classroom, like language exchanges, movie nights and conversation walks.
Our events are open to everyone interested in learning a new language or refining their language skills.

Would you like to learn Dutch? Taalhuis Amsterdam offers courses at different levels and with various intensities, regular courses (once a week) and intensive courses (twice a week). We also offer in-company training and private lessons, but due to high demand there’s waiting list for following private lessons.
Our teachers are all native speakers and speak Dutch in class from lesson one (and so will you)! After completing a level (book) you can continue with a deepening course in which you’ll revisit important grammar topics. You can also opt for a conversation course to work on your speaking skills.
