What is a nieuwsgierig Aagje?

nieuwsgierig Aagje /niʋsˈxirəx ˈaːxjə/ Dutch expression

  1. Someone who simply has to know everything.

From the saying “nieuwsgierig Aagje van Enkhuizen”. Aagje is the girl from Enkhuizen in two 17th-century plays, whose curiosity took her all the way to Antwerp.

Usually it is a gentle tease. Here it is a compliment: curiosity is the quickest way into a language, and into the Dutch. Every question you bring is welcome.

How I teach

Every lesson starts from you: what you need Dutch for, what you already know, and what makes you curious.

  • Personal, from the first lesson

    Your lessons follow your goals: running a meeting in Dutch, a chat with the neighbours, or finally following your colleagues at lunch.

  • Dutch for your work

    Emails, meetings, presentations and the chat at the coffee machine: the Dutch you actually use at work.

  • Culture in every lesson

    A language makes more sense with the culture around it: the after-work drinks, the birthday party, in a circle of chairs, and why everything is nice, tasty, good: it fits almost anything.

  • Around your week

    Evenings and weekends are fine. Online from wherever you are, or in person when that works better.

Hoi, I'm Annemarie

I teach Dutch to people who live and work in the Netherlands, or are about to. No two students are alike, so no two sets of lessons are either: we work on the Dutch you need, in the way you learn best.

Along the way you pick up what textbooks leave out: what makes something cosy, convivial: the word everyone says can't be translated, what to bring to a birthday, and how to keep talking Dutch when someone switches to English.

Curious? Then you are already halfway there.
