How this course is built.
Most courses write A2 or B1 questions and hope they look like the exam. The exam has a fixed shape. So we worked out what that shape is and built everything on it.

And the questions do not run out. New ones keep coming and you never get one you have had before.
First we studied the real exams.
Before we wrote a question, we went through the official exams. Which subjects come back. How the questions are written. How the wrong answers are made.
We built the whole inburgeringscursus on what we found.
See the full researchAt A2 you can often find the answer in the text. At B2 you have to work it out yourself.

Every level asks something different from you. The course follows that.
A base first, then the exam.
Exam training does not hold without the language under it. You can know what a question wants and still lose the point on the sentence itself. So the course starts with words and grammar.
Vocabulary
11 stages, 3,079 words
You start with the words you need every day. A word comes back just before you forget it, so you keep it instead of learning it twice.
Grammar
33 subjects, 3,672 exercises
In the order that works. Verbs before word order, word order before longer sentences. Every subject has a short explanation and a test at the end.
Then every part of the exam.
Each part of the exam asks something different, so each part has its own explanation and its own practice. Pick a part to see what is in it.
Real exam texts with the question types that keep coming back. You get your answer straight away. With every wrong option you see why it is wrong. That is the part you learn from.
- A2168practice questions
- B1280practice questions
- B2232practice questions
That is the fixed set. After that you keep getting new questions on your weak spots for as long as you need them.
Then you practise what you get wrong.
Every answer you give is saved with the subject, the question type and the skill behind it. So a weak spot is not only "de and het". It can be a question type: the ones where the answer is never written out for you.
Your weak spots
Based on your answers
- de / het articles41%
- Word order in longer sentences56%
- Answers that are not written out63%
Practise these
It waits for a pattern
A subject becomes a weak spot after at least four tries and 15% wrong in 30 days. Two mistakes on a tired evening do not count.
Words come back in time
A new word returns after a day, then after four, then further apart each time you get it right. Get it wrong and it comes back sooner.
It does not run out
New questions follow the same patterns as the exam. You can keep going on one weak spot until it is no longer one.
Rules decide what you get, not AI
What you practise next follows from your own answers, not from a model guessing at you.

Made by someone who saw it go wrong.
I am Timo. I never had to take the inburgeringsexamen myself. My family did and I helped them prepare for it.
The exam turned out to be very trainable. It has a fixed shape and asks for clear, specific tasks. The course they paid for taught general Dutch instead.
So I built the course I would have wanted for them.
