This is the 'Dutch by Kids' page for students.
This is the website of 'Dutch By Kids' course. In this course, you can meet up with Dutch kids using Discord.
The free course is taught by De Jonge Onderzoekers Groningen.
How cool is that, to both practice your Dutch and help Dutch in spending their evening in a useful and gezellige way!
We teach using Discord, an online chat and voice platform used mostly for gaming. Or: it's the platform the teachers use 👍
To start, you will need to
- install Discord from https://discordapp.com
- create an account
- send a Friend Request to Richel:
richelbilderbeek#9002
Then, you'll be invited to the 'De Jonge Onderzoekers' server.
Lessons take place on Wednesdays from 18:15 to 20:00.
When you arrive at 'De Grote Tafel' ('The Big Table'), say hello to the people there! There, you'll be taken to smaller tables.

We follow this timetable:
| What | Time |
|---|---|
| Doors open | 18:00 |
| Lesson starts | 18:15 |
| Break time! | 19:00 |
| Lesson continues | 19:15 |
| End of lesson | 20:00 |
What we do in the break is still a surprise 😁
That is mostly up to you, the adult, to decide. If you have a microphone, you can try an informal conversation. In any case, you can try to practice your Dutch written conversation using the text channels.
The kids are -unsurprisingly- no full professional teachers. But they will enjoy helping, so we predict it will work out as something fun!
Send a private message to richelbilderbeek, he'll invite you back
to 'De Grote Tafel' ('The Big Table') and we'll find some solution, possible
another student.
Sure, that's fine 👍
