In addition to these resources, it is also recommended that you find a tutor or take a Dutch language course in order to get started with learning the basics of the language. These are five ways to get you started:

1. Start with the basics.
   Make sure you know how to pronounce the Dutch alphabet and common Dutch words. You can find resources to help you with this online or in Dutch language textbooks.
2. Learn Dutch grammar.
   This is essential for being able to construct sentences and communicate properly in Dutch. Again, there are many resources available online or in Dutch language textbooks to help you with this.
3. Practice, practice, practice.
   The best way to learn any language is to practice it as often as possible. Try to find opportunities to speak Dutch with native speakers or other learners. You can also practice by listening to Dutch language podcasts or watching Dutch language TV shows or movies.
4. Be patient.
   Learning a new language can be challenging, but it is important to be patient and to keep at it. Don’t get discouraged if you make mistakes or have difficulty understanding things at first. Just keep practicing and you will eventually get the hang of it.
5. Have fun.
   Learning a new language can be a fun and rewarding experience. Make sure to find materials and activities that you enjoy so that you will be more likely to stick with it. Look at it like using it as a social tool. Do you want to speak to your Dutch neighbors? Let’s try to chat with them or even ask if they are open for small chat once in a while. Whatever you like in your social life, pick that activity to practice Dutch.
