As seen in:

Dutch is complicated they say...

When people first start learning Dutch with me, they feel overwhelmed. They feel scared to to talk me even, think they must sound really bad or like rubbish. 

Or they have tried learning Dutch themselves on the internet or with Duolingo. It's hard they say. It takes too long or I cannot actually practice enough. It feels like I am never getting fluent in Dutch. They don't understand the right grammar, keep making sentence structure mistakes and don't have the right tools to learn all the vocabulary. They are frustrated and confused by the time they get to me. 

This can happen to anyone. However, this doesn't need to be your reality.

What if you can learn Dutch in a way that is fun, that you actually understand and where you feel your confidence grow every time you take a lesson?!

Where mistakes don't lead into frustration and quitting, but as learning opportunities to grow and get better?!

Where you actually have someone who guides you and is there by your side as you embrace the Dutch language?!


That is why I created this complete, Dutch Beginner Mastercourse!

Where I, as your certified Dutch teacher, guide you through fun, interactive self-paced classes through everything that you need to know and understand to reach A1 level and have basic conversations with other Dutchies. 

No more boring or difficult out of the book learning, but bubbly, enthusiastic classes as if I am right there in the room with you. PLUS the opportunity to join live Group Zoom classes and conversation classes to practice with other students just like you. And with me by your side, to give you feedback and golden nuggets that you can implement in your learning right away!

Our students love the classes

To be able to successfully hold conversations in The Netherlands without it breaking into English. I am definitely able to say now that I can "speak Dutch". This was my goal and it is the foothold I needed before moving.
Matt
I really like Joyce's classes. They're helpful and fun and she explains things to me very easily. I mostly struggle with the sentence structure, and this has improved so much since starting with Joyce.

Rosalind
Joyce makes her classes really structured and easy for me to follow. It just makes sense. I can ask her anything and she will easily explain them to me. She has great patience and helps me to feel at ease in her classes when I find things difficult.

Hoi, ik ben Joyce!

As a native Dutchie, born and bred in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, having lived in 3 countries and polyglot of knowing more than 8 languages,  it's not a surprising fact that I love languages and culture. I have been teaching for over 5 years and taught over 300 students, mostly in Australia. From kids to adults, from face to face to online and from beginners to advanced; I am that lucky person who has the opportunity to teach many students to become fluent in Dutch.

And I am going to help you too!

Exactly in the way you know best of me: 100% fun, understandable, personal and in a way that you get is AND remember it. I will teach you the basics of Dutch in such a way that it will give you lightbulb moments straight away with amazing anologies and tips. The result? You are able to happily express yourself in Dutch in daily and authentic conversations. 

This is my method to help my current students ease into Dutch and embrace their inner Dutchie so that they feel comfortable having real conversations without shutting down. That's why I created this course. To reach and help more people this way. To study at your own pace in your own safe space, and being able to practice with me and the community at the same time. 

My focus: to make learning learning fun and easy so that you feel the drive and motivation to keep learning, be excited to practice and be proud and confident of yourself of all the progress and accomplishments you have made. 

To just motivate you to do it! Not get overwhelmed, procrastinate and then stop. Begin (with the help of me) to learn Dutch now!

Can you imagine what it would be like to speak Dutch? 

Imagine for a second that you will be walking around in Amsterdam, able to pick up on conversations. Being able to order a 'haring' at this fish truck on the right with ease. To check in with a family member in Dutch, truly knowing how they are. That you can laugh at a Dutch joke and that you are actually part of a conversation with a group of Dutchies.

Imagine what it would be like to truly connect with the Dutch culture and interact on a deeper level with Dutchies anywhere in the world. Maybe you want to live and work in Amsterdam one day. Maybe you want to connect with your long-lost family members who live in a small town down East. Maybe you want to grow your relationship and really connect with your Dutch partner.

These dreams, these wishes can become your reality. And it will be so much easier to have in reach when you can speak Dutch confidently.

And all it takes is to take that first step & a simple, yet fun learning path.
Are you ready to stop imagining and make your journey a reality?!

This is what you will be able to do after the Dutch Mastercourse

1. Having basic conversations in Dutch; understand simple conversations and read simple texts in Dutch. 
2. You understand the Dutch language structure, are able to make simple, logic sentences in Dutch with confidence and you see more connections and patterns in Dutch that make sense to you.

I think what you have done so far has really made a difference, I speak more Dutch with my partner thanks to the classes with you :). Thank you so much for your patience! You're doing a wonderful job as my Dutch teacher.

Julia
I am very impressed with your lesson style. I was a bit shy in the live lessons, but I really enjoyed it and hopefully I get more confident each lesson. 



Lis
Thanks so much for all your hard work Joyce. This class has taken my Dutch to the next level. I've now relocated to Utrecht and have found it easier than I had imagined conducting conversations here. This class allowed me to achieve my goal, and I will be forever grateful.

Questions you might have

How much does the course cost?

The course is $450. This includes life-long access to the self-paced course with all the video lessons and exercises. You will also get access to 16 recorded classes and can practice live with your students.

How do I know if the course is something for me? 

This course is for you if you are interest in learning Dutch or already are learning the language:
- You find it hard to learn words and make them stick
- You want to learn the language with an easy and structure explaination that will help you to understand and implement it straight away. 
- You want to have one platform and a set up course where you can easily follow all the steps and be sure that you will reach A1 level after. 
- You want to have the flexibility to learn at your own pace and in your own time, but also have LIVE help and feedback from a teacher who holds you accountable in the meantime. 
- You want to be able to practice with a certified teacher where you can learn to speak Dutch in a safe environment. 
- You want to have high quality classes with an interactive and joyful teacher who makes language learning fun!

When do we begin? 

You can start at any point. This is a self-paced course, so you can move through each section at your own pace. However, you will get emails from me to keep you on track. 

How does this course work? 

The course is set up in 8 weeks with 8 different themes. In each week you will get 3 videos where you will have a class with me as if you are live in class with me. Each video has a purpose as shown in the course details on this page. At the end of each video you will have all the tools you need to practice on your own. This is your fast track option. 

The other option is to commit to one video lesson and exercises a week. This means that in 24 weeks you will have received A1 level!

To accompany that, there are many exercises, games and vocabulary tools that will help you to reach the level and have fun along the way. I will guide you along with that so that the steps are easy and fun to take. 

To put everything even more so in practice, we have a weekly conversation class (at different times and days to suit everyone's schedule) where we can practice things like our pronunciation, grammar, sentences and our confidence in having a conversation with each other. I don't believe in mistakes, we are simply learning and trying. The more you try and put yourself out there with me/us, the more confidence you will get!!

There is also a community where you can ask questions and chat with other students, as well as ask me for feedback. 

How much time should I dedicate to learning Dutch?

There is a lot of material for you to go through. That said, you can make the course as intense as you want. You can easily work on your Dutch 10 hours a week, or less, up to you! This is definitely a course that is suited to your lifestyle and schedule. That said, there will be 1-1.5 hour live class each week. There are also 3 videos that will be about half an hour each (around 1.5 hours). Then there are exercises as well. I suggest to spend at least 1 hour a week at your exercises. This will then come to 4-5 hours of studying each week. Again, you can do what you can do with your schedule. Trust that your learning will grow in time and that everything happens as it should be. I do recommend that ideally you spend at least 5-10 minutes each day to your practice. Especially in the beginning you will see that continuous practice and repetition really does help with speaking confidently!

Is the course 'live'?

Most of the course is self-paced. This means you can go through all the material, video lessons and exercises at your own pace. The recorded classes are there as well for your learning. The buddy classes are live and you can practice there with the other students. If needed, you can always book in a private session to work more on your Dutch!

What is the time schedule for the classes? 

The classes are self paced, so there is no need to be available. 

Buddy classes:

Wednesdays 6:30 - 8:30pm AEST on a weekly base (you can hop on anytime)

Is this price just a one time fee? 

YES!! How good is that? You just pay $450 AUD and for that you get a full library of content as well as 16 classes to practice your Dutch.

Is there a payment plan? 

Yes! You can pay in 3 installments if you feel like this course is for you, but you want to split your payments a bit more. Still a bit too much?! Then email me at dutchwithjoyce@gmail.com to speak about other options.

How long will I have access to the course? 

This is a self-paced course that you will have life-time access to. Even though you can't start right now, you can always start and learn at your own pace and in your own time. 

How can I pay? 

You can pay by clicking on the button down below. This will guide you to the payment portal where you can pay with your debit card or credit card. Even if you are not with an Australian bank, you can still join us. The payment will be automatically converted to the Australian currency. 

Can I buy this course as a gift? 

Of course! What a great idea of you! 

To buy this as a gift or buy the course for someone else, you can do the following: 
1. Purchase through the button below and adding the credentials of the person that the course is for. 
2. You can send me an email with your request and adding 'Dutch Mastercourse Gift' as your subject line. I will then set up an account for the nominated person. 

Why should I start this journey with you? 

I have been teaching many happy students for over 5 years. As a polyglot myself, I know and understand the struggles of learning a language. On top of that, I am a certified teacher and life coach. I know everything about mindset and the way the brain works. This all combined together, I've found the perfect formula to learn a language. 

On top of that, I truly believe in making learning as easy and as fun as possible. Students who work with me know this and love this most about me. They love my jokes, making the material relatable, my great tips and tricks, my enthusiasm and most of all my patience. 

I teach Dutch, because I love languages and culture. Because I am patriotic and love my background. But most of all because I love helping people and am a great teacher and guide to help you see the structure of the Dutch language and become better at your own practice every day. This course is unlike every other course you've seen. It's complete, it's fun, it's understandable. 

What level will I be at after I finish the course? 

If you have gone through all the videos, classes, exercises and material, you can expect to reach a A1 level (advanced beginner). The more you apply what you've learned in the videos and exercises in your daily life, the better you will get at learning and understanding Dutch.

The Dutch Beginner Mastercourse is for you when:

  • ...you want to learn real Dutch and not be stuck learning via Duolingo.
  • ...miss out on having conversations and practice with others.
  • ...you feel overwhelmed and frustrated to learn a language on your own.
  • ...you don't seem to understand the grammar or structure of the language.
  • ...you have no idea what you are doing wrong, but you can't seem to improve and reach your desired level.
  • ...you want someone who can teach and coach you enthusiastically and point our how you can improve in a patient way.
  • ...you want to make 2023 your year and knowing and speaking Dutch aligns with your goals
  • ...you want to finally have meaningful and fluent conversations with other Dutchies, family and friends.
  • ...you want to keep improving your Dutch within a great community who all want the same thing: speak Dutch fluently with confidence.
  • ...you want to able what Dutchies are actually saying without freezing and not knowing how to respond.

In the Dutch Beginner Mastercourse
you will learn: 

All about the sentence structure and practices!

Not only will you have a clear and great explaination from me that just makes sense (and makes a sentence ;)), you will also practice your sentences alongside me. 

No more blockages, or structuring Dutch sentences the English way, but with my tips and little nudges, you teach yourself to easily construct basic Dutch sentences. 

That's where these students have begun as well

Words, words, words!

In order to make sentences, you need to upskill your vocabulary. 

Drilling words is not the way, but learning words in a playful way is! Word games or creating links between your own knowledge and experience to a Dutch word is a fantastic way to learn!

My students love my explaination for the word 'knife': if you don't use a knife, then you will get a mess. The word for knife = mes.

In this course you will not only get golden nuggets to remember words like these, but you will also see these connections yourself and will playfully learn words as you go with the 24 vocabulary lists, created just for you!


This is why being able to speak Dutch is great:

  • You're teaching yourself how to understand and speak basic Dutch (how brave!) with the guidance of me by your side.
  • You're having the building blocks to learn Dutch (and other languages!)
  • You can straight away make a great impact on Dutchies and their families
  • You have the ability to learn in new ways and understanding yourself, the way you speak and learn better
  • Honestly, you'll also be better in karaoke, lipsynching and modelling accents and voices ;)

Joyce helped me to understand the job market in the Netherlands. Knowing no Dutch at all, she helped me with funny, yet handy tricks so actually get the sounds that I kept stumbling over. With her help, I did get them and now I've had my first job interview all in Dutch!
jess
I would say Joyce's classes are so much fun and with so much patience. If you have learning disabilities, you are definitely in the right hands with Joyce. She is so patient and really takes the time for you. 

leanne
I want so anxious to start learning Dutch. I've tried to learn it myself, but always froze when speaking with others. I was always struggling and formulating sentences, not really growing. Working with Joyce helped to grow my confidence and really speak Dutch.

3x 'yes, but'

#1 I don't know if I have time

Buy it now and do it later. If you buy a ticket now, you will still get it for a really low price. After this first round, the price will go up, so you will have it for the lowest price ever!

#2 I'm bad at learning

Everyone can learn something, so can you! Especially with my step by step and fun system! The fact that you've found your way to this page, shows that you've learned how to use the internet ;). You've also learned English and there are at least 1500 words that are the same or similar to English. 

#3 I don't know if this is for me

Fair enough! Check in with yourself: how is your Dutch going? Do you feel like you might need a little help, feedback or motivation? Yes? Then this is for you. It is nothing like the mainstream courses. This course is fun, interactive and you don't feel like you're learning!

Joyce Diebels

Since 2019 I have been helping many adults & kids to learn Dutch the fun way. After learning 6 languages in High School, becoming fluent in English whilst living in the US, I moved to Australia in 2017 to follow my dream. 

One of those dreams is to help other people learn Dutch in such a way that they fall in love with learning, the language and our culture. I believe learning is fun and it improves the learning pace and enthusiasm of learning Dutch. My goal is to help English speaking people learn Dutch with ease and joy!
