Dutch Learning Accelerator

If you're trying to think your way into learning Dutch, you're doing it wrong. Learn Dutch like you did English: by hearing a huge amount of it. (With at least a vague idea of what it means!) Thousands of Dutch Phrases, along with the English translations, presented directly to your brain: from practical to philosophical to flirting. Just phrases, no filler! Go way beyond the Dutch language basics to not just communicate, but actually become an interesting person in Dutch. As an audio-only tool to learn Dutch, it's a great companion for driving, walking, or house chores. This podcast is the perfect supplement for your current language studies, whether you're using an app like DuoLingo or are enrolled in a Dutch class. If you’re a beginner, we recommend you use this tool in addition to a good Dutch intro course like Michel Thomas. The Dutch Learning Accelerator is created by language lovers and world travelers, for the love of language! Every episode has subtitles available. (If your podcast player supports it.)
