How Semantix teaches Dutch
- Immersion from day one. The tutor replies mostly in Dutch, with just enough English to keep you moving.
- Flashcards that build themselves. Every word you stumble on becomes an SM-2 spaced-repetition card, so review is drawn from your own conversations.
- A real path, not a word list. Placement puts you at the right CEFR level and the A1-B2 curriculum gives structure - plus practice modes, writing correction, and article import.
