Frequently asked questions
You won’t just be repeating words after a speaker, trying to imitate them — you’ll actually understand the patterns and phonetic rules behind Dutch pronunciation. Once you grasp them, you’ll be able to pronounce Dutch words correctly on your own.
Among these standard rules is, for example, regressive assimilation, where certain sounds disappear or change under the influence of neighboring sounds.
You’ll also get to know the glottal onset, a feature that gives Dutch speech its distinct “Dutch color,” almost like magic.
And you’ll learn how the neutral schwa sound can “play hide and seek” in spoken Dutch.
All of this adds the final touches that make your speech sound truly Dutch.
And we haven’t even mentioned the in-depth explanation of all possible sounds represented by the 26 letters of the Dutch alphabet — complete with details on what your articulatory organs (tongue, lips, vocal cords) are actually doing during pronunciation.
This course is like a theoretical phonetics class from a university language program or a speech therapist’s masterclass, but designed for motivated learners.
So if you’ve ever wondered, “How do I say this so it actually sounds right?” —
you’ll find clear, detailed answers in Linguaclub’s Dutch Phonetics video course.
Yes, of course. You can always ask us any questions about the study materials and you’ll receive quick and professional answers from us via WhatsApp.
The course consists of 2 chapters. You’ll need around 1 to 2 hours to complete each chapter. You can listen to or watch the video lessons at any time that suits you.
We offer 3 months of access to the course.
