1. Check your Dutch level
Know your level — and save yourself hours of boredom
Here’s something that happens to almost everyone who’s been in the Netherlands for a while. You decide it’s finally time to get serious about your Dutch. You want to organise what’s in your head properly — fill the gaps, fix the foundations, make it all click. So you start from the beginning. Sensible, right? Except by day three, you’re sitting through a lesson on how to introduce yourself, and you can feel your soul leaving your body. You already know this. You’ve been living this. And just like that, all that motivation to finally sort out your Dutch? Gone.
This is why knowing your level before you start anything is so important. The CEFR scale runs from A0 (complete beginner) to C1 (fluent and professional). If you’ve been here a few years, you’re probably somewhere between A2 and B1 — maybe higher than you think. A quick level test, 10 to 20 minutes, tells you exactly where to jump in. No more starting over. No more boredom. Just the stuff you actually need.
