Dutch lessons in New York

Dutch is the language of the Netherlands and Belgium –two countries with ties to the world’s richest trading partners. And despite the fact that English proficiency abounds in both, Dutch speakers have the upper hand in business, travel, and personal dealings within these two countries. Although Dutch is most common in the European Union, speakers of the language can also be found in the Caribbean Islands, France, Germany, Indonesia, North America, and Australia.

New York City is the largest city in the United States, and also one of the biggest in North America. The city has a long history of immigration and, today, is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world, and thousands still arrive every year to make the Big Apple their new home. That is why there is a wide variety of languages spoken throughout the city: Spanish is the most common language used at home after English, with other popular languages being Chinese, Russian, Italian, French, German, and even many rare African languages.

Since the city’s foundation in the 17^th century, most new arrivals tended to cluster into specific neighborhoods which, over time, began to mirror their old nations. From Brooklyn's Little Odessa to Queens' Little Guyana, Koreatown, and Little India, you can find dozens of ethnic neighborhoods in NYC. These neighborhoods are set apart by differences in food, goods for sale, and, of course, language. So, if you would like to connect with these ethnic groups at a more intimate level and even do business with them, start learning a second language with us today.
