The Dutch Brainwash – 7 Day Intensive Course
Keizersgracht 8, Amsterdam, NH, NLThe Dutch Brainwash is an intensive Dutch course in the center of Amsterdam. It has a unique approach that is totally different from any other language course that you can think of. Thanks to a very special combination of powerful learning techniques and personal coaching, great results are possible within a very short time. Within 7 days you’ll notice how easy it is to speak about any subject that you like, in Dutch!
Bringing your Dutch to a whole new level is relatively easy. But… you have to know how to do it. Mainly, it only works if you can see that Dutch is a logical, consistent and funny language. Don’t worry if you are not convinced of this yet. Step by step you can learn how to construct your own sentences, how to explode your vocabulary while thinking in pictures and which mindset you can use so that you can achieve your goals even faster…
When most people think about learning, they think about retaining loads and loads of information. But… if you think about it, it is not true!

And yes, you will also learn many other things:
- A better pronunciation
