Your New Year’s Resolutions Solution: DutchPod101 Inner Circle
Peter here, and welcome to another year of DutchPod101!
It’s halfway into January and everyone’s focused on their New Year’s resolutions.This used to happen to me year after year, and now I see it year after year. The start of a new year gives everyone renewed hope that THIS is finally going to be the year they master Dutch!
The hard truth? 90% of these people will fail. 70% will have given up by February. Resolutions have become a kind of societal joke that we all pretend to play along with. That is, until we actually have to do something about it.
Do these numbers surprise you? I know from personal experience that it’s easy to let your goal go. For many, many years I had the same goal year after year! Then one year, that all... Show more

It’s as easy as that!

Introducing the New DutchPod101.com Dashboard!
Greetings from Team DutchPod101!
We’re stopping by the blog today to tell you about an exciting new feature we’re slowly rolling out on the website. A few select users have been chosen to test drive the new Dashboard feature.

These were common questions coming in from avid users like you, so we set out to solve these... Show more

Why You Need Dutch Basics!
Before Michael Jordan was great. Before Bruce Lee was great.
And before your favorite actor was great, do you know what they did?
They sat around hoping to be great.
Wait, no. They practiced their basic skills every day.

We mean the necessary basics! If you learn just the Dutch verb conjugation rules but can’t conjugate any verb immediately, on the spot, without looking it up?...
...You need to get back to basics!
Being great in Dutch requires knowing your basics 100%.
With 25% OFF Basic, its time to get back to basics, and go from good to... Show more
