How Woordvloed Nederlands B.V. Started
We noticed a gap in how Dutch vocabulary is taught. Traditional methods weren’t working for most learners.
Back in 2019, our founder spent months frustrated with outdated vocabulary resources. She’d moved to the Netherlands and realized that most language apps missed the real, practical words people actually use. Classroom materials felt stiff. Apps were boring. There wasn’t anything that matched how modern Dutch speakers actually talk—casual, contextual, alive.
So she didn’t just complain. She built something better. Starting with a small team of language experts and software developers, Woordvloed Nederlands B.V. was created to solve exactly this problem. We’re focused on woordenschat—vocabulary—because that’s the foundation everything else builds on. You can’t speak, read, or understand Dutch without words. So we made sure our words are useful, memorable, and real.
Today we’ve helped thousands of learners—from complete beginners to advanced students—actually retain Dutch vocabulary. We don’t believe in cramming. We believe in smart learning: context-based, spaced repetition, and material that feels relevant to your life in the Netherlands.
