Play buttons use your device’s own voice, so they appear only when it has one for Dutch.
How it works
Four steps for every Dutch sentence
One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Dutch out loud.
Step 1
Order
See a Dutch sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
Step 2
Translate
See the English and build the sentence in Dutch, word by word.
Step 3
Listen
Hear the sentence spoken in Dutch, then type what you understood.
Step 4
Speak
Say it out loud in Dutch and see which words landed and which to try again.
Speaking Dutch
Why speak Dutch from day one
The Dutch g and the vowel sounds in words like uit and eu are the usual problem spots. Hear them, say them and compare.

Dutch questions, answered
Can I learn Dutch for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach Dutch speaking?
Every Dutch sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise Dutch?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any Dutch already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday Dutch sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
Is Dutch hard to learn for English speakers?
One of the easier languages for English speakers. Word order and a few sounds are the main things to practise.
