Learn Dutch (Belgium) with Loquus

Learn Dutch (Belgium).

Loquus has a separate Dutch course for Belgium, often described as Belgian Dutch or Flemish. It gives Belgian usage its own place while sharing the wider Dutch language. Explore words and expressions through lessons, audio, and reference tools, with progress kept separately from Netherlands Dutch.

Dag

Start with a greeting. Keep going from there.

01

Start with the Belgian course

Choose Dutch for Belgium when Belgian usage is what you want to focus on. Words and expressions can differ from those common in the Netherlands, even though much is shared. Use this course's Dictionary and Phrasebook to explore the wording in its own context.

02

Learn the shared sentence patterns

Articles, verb placement, and separable verbs are useful parts of Dutch to understand in Belgium too. Look up a question in Grammar Center and compare the examples. Keep the explanation close as you return to a phrase or practice the words you have already learned.

03

Leave room for local variation

Dutch in Belgium includes regional differences in sound and everyday speech. Listen to the available course audio and use it as one source of practice. When you encounter an unfamiliar expression elsewhere, check its context rather than expecting every speaker to use exactly the same wording.

A new word card in the Dutch (Belgium) course: hallo, meaning hello, with normal and very slow audio.

Every word gets its own card.

Your first word is hallo, meaning hello. Each new word comes with its meaning and audio at normal or very slow speed.

  • Normal and very slow audio
  • Notes when a word needs them
Say it out loud: the app plays hallo and you repeat it right after the voice.

Then say it yourself.

Right after a new word, you repeat it after the voice. This is called shadowing, and it builds speaking habits from your very first lesson.

  • Hear it again, or slowly
  • Match the rhythm, not just the sounds
  • Tap when you have said it
A typing step in the Dutch (Belgium) course asks for “hi (casual)” on a keyboard built into the lesson.

Write Dutch (Belgium) from day one.

Typing steps bring their own keyboard, so you can write Dutch (Belgium) before you add a keyboard to your phone.

  • A keyboard built for the lesson
  • A hint when you need one
  • Spelling practice as you learn
