#learning dutch
A while ago I made a post about Dutch websites that can help you practice your Dutch, and a bunch of lovely people added some websites to the original post so I figured it was time to update the post. The websites are now sorted into more specific categories to keep the post more organised.
A special thanks to @onzin-en-talen for adding the Belgian websites!
Beginner (kids websites)
jeugdjournaal.nl is the website for het Jeugdjournaal (daily on tv for 7-10 year old kids). Easy language, so easier to follow. Daily news ‘episodes’, 15 minutes long.
ketnet.be is a Belgian kids channel. Check out karrewiet too!
More advanced: News
AD.nl is an online newspaper - it is for adults so if you want news that’s familiar to items you can find on your newspaper you could go to the topic Buitenland.
NU.nlis another online newspaper which might be harder to read so again, if you go to Buitenland you’ll find worldwide newsitems.
NOS.nl again, an online news website and a topic Buitenland.
destandaard.be is a Belgian newspaper. This is the Buitenlandsection.
demorgen.be I couldn’t find a Buitenland section, but they do have, among others, a MusicandTechnology section on which you can find interesting articles.
hln.be another Belgian newspaper. This is the link to the Buitenlandsection.
VRT NWS is the Belgian public broadcasting service’s news website.
More advanced: Sports
sportnieuws.nl offers the latest sports news in the Netherlands.
sporza.beis the Belgian public broadcasting service’s sport news site.
More advanced: TV
NPO 1 is the Dutch national broadcasting channel, here you can watch live TV.
bvn.tvis a website where you can watch Dutch TV (thank you, @join-the-dutch-clan)!
uitzendinggemist.nl here you can watch TV too, this website uploads recent episodes you might have missed on TV.
More advanced: Magazines
humo.be is a Belgian magazine, which provides interviews. They also offer reviews of concerts, CDs, TV programs and movies.
knack.be is a magazine that offers news as well as interviews on their website.
More advanced: Radio
onlineluisteren.nl offers all radio stations in the Netherlands, sorted by genre (if you scroll down). You can also find the regional channels on here! These offer more news about the province.
qmusic.nlis the website for Dutch radio station Q Music. You can find music, videos from the studio and music related news on here.They mainly focus on pop.
radio 538 is another Dutch radio station, focused on pop. They have a section called Gemist that offers the latest interviews and other cool stuff they did.
stubru.be is a Belgian alternative rock radio station - @onzin-en-talen recommends the interview Linde Merckpoel had with Ed Sheeran. They offer music news and more.
mnm.be is another Belgian radio station, which is more focused on pop.
Learning vocab
woordjesleren.nlis a website where you can look up lists of words and sentences from a lot of language methods we use in Holland. There are not only Dutch - English lists, but also Dutch - other languages. It isn’t that great though if you don’t have the schoolbooks that belong to the lists… There also is an app but that probably will only work if you’re in the Dutch Appstore.
wrts.nl wrts is short for woordjes which translates to words. I think it’s free - at least when I made my account. You can make lists by yourself, or download lists from woordjesleren.nl.
Let me know if you have any questions or are looking for something specific! Voor nu wens ik je veel succes en plezier!
So I’m Dutch and thought that it’d be cool to make a list of some Dutch news sites and other stuff. I’ll add more if I think of anything and feel free to add/suggest :) I sorted it into 2 categories, kids and adult, with kids being the easier language and adult being normal Dutch. Please let me know if any of the links don’t work!
Oh, also, don’t hesitate to ask me if you need anything! I’d love to help you studying this language :)

NOS.nl again, an online news website with the topic ‘Buitenland’.
So I also thought of some websites to memorize words and sentences, I’ve no idea if it works if you’re not in the Netherlands but you can always give it a try right?
