What learners say
This app is well worth the subscription! I'm a shy perfectionist, often freezing when required to speak, so speaking in a new language is extremely challenging for me. This app has been very good practice to build my confidence. I've tried to practice speaking with other LLM's (GPT, Claude, Gemini) but struggled with their ability to keep a structure that allowed for sustainable practice. Dia has been a joy to use, solving for those issues. It has helpful features, giving me feedback on improving my sentence structures. I'm also enjoying the surprise images.

Frequently asked questions about learning Dutch
Does Dia teach Dutch from the Netherlands or Flemish?
Both. Your tutor uses the vocabulary and expressions of the one you pick.
Can I prepare for the NT2 exam?
You can practice for it. It's conversation practice, not an official mock exam.
Will my tutor help with de and het?
Yes. When a new word comes up, your tutor tells you whether it takes de or het and explains the patterns that help.
Is this good prep for moving to the Netherlands or Belgium?
Yes. Tell your tutor you're moving and practice the situations you'll face: registering at the gemeente, a visit to the huisarts, apartment viewings.
How is this different from Duolingo for Dutch?
Duolingo helps you recognize Dutch. Dia gets you saying it: you speak, your tutor answers and corrects you gently.
Choose a tutor, then start talking.
Your tutor answers in Dutch, corrects you gently as you go and switches to your language when you're stuck.
