The Dutch Brainwash is an intensive Dutch course in the center of Amsterdam. It has a unique approach that is totally different from any other language course that you can think of. Thanks to a very special combination of powerful learning techniques and personal coaching, great results are possible within a very short time. Within 7 days you’ll notice how easy it is to speak about any subject that you like, in Dutch!

Bringing your Dutch to a whole new level is relatively easy. But… you have to 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 faster…

When most people think about learning, they think about retaining loads and loads of information. But… if you think about it, it is not true! Speaking a language is also about feeling at ease and having confidence. Therefore, a positive experience is one of the most important things, something that is easily ignored by most people. And yes, you will also learn many other things:

• A better pronunciation
• How to construct sentences about any subject that you like
• How to explode 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
