At the Dutch/Flemish Language Institute, we offer language and culture instruction tailored to your needs. Our experienced native speaking certified teachers have helped native students, second language speakers and adults alike. What sets us apart is the personal contact and highly skilled trained teachers. We pair you with a Dutch or Flemish teacher, your choice.

We offer quality education for small groups and private lessons in the Chicago, New York, Milwaukee, DC and LA area, in your home or office, or at our location. In New Zealand, we offer lessons in the Waikato area. We have added a location in Sydney, Australia and have teachers located in the European time zone. We also have teachers available in South Korea and Bangkok.

We also offer online lessons, pre-school to adult, worldwide.

We have taught business people moving to the Netherlands/Belgium, adults/children wanting to stay in touch with their heritage and students from the Netherlands/Belgium during extended stays abroad.

We help students with the Inburgeringsexamen and Staatsexamen.

We specialize in the preparation of medical students for the Babel exam.

We help students prepare for the CNaVT (Certificate Dutch as a Foreign Language), to prove knowledge of Dutch, for universities in the US and in the Netherlands/Belgium. We also administer this examination, in Chicago, DC, LA, Milwaukee and New York.

We offer specialized translation and editing services. Our experienced translators are specialized in script editing and Dutch to Flemish translations among other things.
