TaalMeester.
Dutch for expats, built for inburgering.
TaalMeester is a language-learning app built specifically for Dutch. It was not adapted from a generic template. Every exercise, content unit and progression rule is designed around the real challenges learners face on their way to A2, from ordering at a café to registering at the gemeente.

The challenge
Learning Dutch for inburgering is hard. Generic apps make it harder.
Expats and international students need Dutch for real situations: the huisarts, the gemeente, a rental contract. Generic language apps rarely teach that, and never in a structure aligned with the inburgering path.
