About us
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.

We invite you to join us for our open day and ‘borrel’ on Sunday, 30 August 2026 at Gerard Doustraat 220.
During the open day, you’ll have the chance to join trial lessons for various Taalhuis languages and attend intake sessions to determine your level and needs before signing up for a course. It’s a perfect opportunity to explore your language learning options. While trial lessons take place in the classrooms, you can enjoy your drinks and our handmade cakes at the café, browse books in our multilingual library, or explore our Mediterranean market with fair-trade products and books.
Trial lessons and intake sessions are completely free, and you can join as many sessions as you want as long as you reserve your spot in advance.
