Coach notes built from your own mistakes
The coach remembers what you keep getting wrong — a tricky verb tense, a word order you trip on — and quietly brings it back until it's no longer a weakness. Practice that adapts to you, not a one-size-fits-all course.
KNM, distilled to what's on the test
Dutch healthcare, government, housing and work — only the topics that actually appear on the KNM exam. Quiz yourself after each one to make it stick.

Four steps to exam-ready
You don't need to learn Dutch from scratch — you already have the basics. This is about closing the gap between where you are and what the exam actually tests. So you practice only what's on it, and nothing that isn't.
Pick a skill
Writing, speaking, or KNM — at A2 or B1 level. Start wherever you want. Lessons get harder as you go.
Practice the real exam
Write emails, record yourself speaking, answer KNM quizzes. Every exercise is built from real DUO exam analysis — 80% of the patterns show up in the first 20 steps, so you're never drilling things the exam won't ask.
Get instant AI feedback
AI marks your Dutch and tells you exactly what to fix — your writing line by line, your speaking scored per word against the exam standard. No waiting for a teacher. Fix it, try again, pass.
Keep going until you're ready
Every exercise you finish moves you closer, and the coach remembers your mistakes so each session targets your weak spots. By the time you've worked through them, exam day holds no surprises.
Practice only what's tested, and it goes faster.
A2 is a few weeks of daily practice. B1 takes longer — there's more to it — but either way you spend your time on what the exam asks, not a textbook. That's the whole method.
Why I built this
I spent two months memorizing word lists and reading the KNM book cover to cover. Then I took a mock exam and bombed it — most of what I studied wasn't even on the test.
So I changed strategy: I focused only on what the exam actually tests, practiced writing and speaking every day, and passed all parts in six weeks.
This app does the same thing — it gives you writing, speaking, and KNM exercises based on what actually shows up on the exam.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Dutch inburgering exam? +
The inburgering exam is a mandatory integration test for most non-EU immigrants in the Netherlands. It consists of several parts: Lezen (reading), Luisteren (listening), Schrijven (writing), Spreken (speaking), and KNM (Knowledge of Dutch Society). You need to pass all parts at A2 level. Some newcomers under the Wet inburgering 2021 are required to reach B1 level (Staatsexamen NT2) depending on their learning route.
What is the difference between the A2 and B1 inburgering exam? +
A2 is the standard inburgering exam level — basic Dutch for daily life. B1 (Staatsexamen NT2) is a higher level required for some learning routes, permanent residence, or Dutch citizenship. Inburgering Coach covers both levels for writing and speaking, so you can practice at whichever level you need.
Can I prepare for the inburgering exam without a course? +
Yes. Many people pass by practicing on their own. Inburgering Coach lets you practice writing and speaking at both A2 and B1 level with AI feedback — including per-word pronunciation scoring on speaking that shows the exact word to fix and lets you re-record it until you nail it, graded to the real exam standard — and study all 8 KNM topics with quizzes, all based on what actually appears on the exam.
How long does it take to prepare for the inburgering exam? +
It depends on your starting level and which level you're sitting. With daily practice, many people prepare for A2 in a few weeks by focusing on their gaps; B1 (Staatsexamen NT2) is a higher level and usually takes longer. The most efficient approach is to practice only what's actually on the exam — Inburgering Coach is built from real DUO exam analysis, and about 80% of the patterns appear in the first 20 steps, so you target your weak spots instead of grinding everything.
