About Direct Dutch Institute

Direct Dutch Institute has been teaching Dutch to internationals since 1985, earning a reputation as one of The Hague's premier language schools. It uses the direct method — Dutch is spoken from the very first lesson — at its location on Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië, with regular, intensive, and private courses and a maximum of 8 students per class.

What sets Direct Dutch apart is the integration of Dutch culture throughout the curriculum, with lectures on history, geography, politics, and arts alongside the language instruction.

The intensive 2-week beginners course takes students from zero to A2 level with 1000+ vocabulary words, while the advanced B2 course prepares students for NT2 Program II certification.
