Easy Dutch
Easy Dutch is an online language learning project which gives Dutch learners the opportunity to be exposed to the language through authentic everyday life conversations, and to read and understand the language with the help of bilingual subtitles in Dutch and English. In our videos, our teams go through the streets of the Netherlands to ask people about all kinds of topics. Our videos are published every Thursday at 7:00 p.m.!
Street Interviews
In our regular episodes, we speak with real people, about real issues, at regular speed. Simultaneous Dutch and English subtitles will help you follow every word.
Super Easy Dutch
Super Easy Dutch videos are aimed at beginners. They feature the same bilingual subtitles, but cover simpler vocabulary and are easier to understand.

When we started this project, it was like a hobby for us: going to beautiful places, speaking to friendly people about various topics, making nice videos, etc. We ended up enjoying it so much that we decided to engage more seriously with the Easy Languages project by producing videos more regularly. This would of course mean a big change in our lives, in many aspects. We started planning weekly shoot days, learning more about filming, editing, subtitles, transcriptions, translations and everything that comes with it. We learned more about connecting with strangers and, last but not least, making learning material for people wanting to improve their Dutch with our videos.
All this takes considerable time and effort, which we always give with enthusiasm, passion and curiosity in our work. For this reason, we decided to offer our learning material to our members in exchange for a small monthly sum. For 5€/month you can get worksheets and transcripts for all our videos. You will also help to ensure that we are able to continue to publish many more videos for Dutch learners!
Team
Mario
Mario comes from Italy, and his two biggest passions are foreign languages and volleyball. Born near the birthplace of the world’s best kind of pizza, he proudly speaks Neapolitan as his second mother tongue and he has a big passion for German, Modern Greek, French and Maltese. He has had the opportunity to live in various countries and is now experiencing life in the not-so-often-sunny-but-actually-pretty-nice Netherlands. He is one of the co-producers of Easy Dutch, where he works on editing, behind the camera, creating worksheets, and handling various other tasks.
Tim
Tim is originally from the Netherlands and Spain. He learned about Easy Languages while he was learning languages himself. When he found out that there was no active Easy Dutch team, he didn't hesitate a second and applied to become a producer. Besides being a producer at Easy Dutch, he is also a teacher and student, studying Arabic language at the University of Amsterdam.
Linus
Linus is originally from Germany and moved to the Netherlands for his studies. He fell in love with Dutch and tried to learn it as quickly as possible. Having learned the language himself, it was important for him to create more content for Dutch learners. He started as a host, but recently focused more on editing the videos.
Jeroen
Jeroen was born and raised in the “gezellig” City of Light: Eindhoven. He reads and writes a lot and is a true language lover. Besides Dutch (of course!), he has a special fondness for the French language. Since a couple of years, he is part of the Easy Dutch team, where he mainly hosts, transcribes and subtitles videos. He also engages in didactic activities for our beloved members.
Nine Jit
Nine Jit is from the North of the Netherlands and interested in history and media. She is passionate about learning new languages and is very happy to help people learning Dutch. She joined the team as a host.
