Capabilities

Tools 15

tdd_abroad

Dutch courses, university Dutch departments, CNaVT exam centres and Dutch schools for children near a capital city (within 40 km), with the nearest option when nothing is local. Also says where the basic civic integration exam abroad (inburgering, level A1) is taken for a country: the Dutch embassy or consulate, or the country to go to when it is not held there (capital.civic_exam). Pass a capital (e.g. Tokyo) or an ISO country code (e.g. JP). With no arguments, lists the capitals that have a local option. Use it when someone lives outside the Netherlands and Belgium or asks about Dutch classes, the CNaVT exam, the civic integration exam abroad or a Dutch school in another country.

Discovered
tdd_city_gaps

Which provider types a Dutch or Flemish city lacks in the index, for example no university course. Use it to explain when to look online or in a nearby city.

Discovered
tdd_compare

Side-by-side comparison of two schools, apps or tutors by slug, with a plain-language verdict. Use it after a search or shortlist when someone is choosing between two.

Discovered
tdd_conflict_ledger

The public policy for when Dutch Fluency products appear in results and how independent alternatives are guaranteed. Use it when someone asks whether the directory is independent.

Discovered
tdd_death_watch

Data-quality signals in the index: stub names and missing prices or lesson counts. Scrape health, not claims about providers. Use it only for maintenance or data questions.

Discovered
tdd_employer_budget

Planning ranges (not a quote) for Dutch training for a team, from headcount, months, track and cities. Use it for HR or employer questions about cost.

Discovered
tdd_evidence_pack

A shareable, independent study plan (name, city, goal, weeks) that a learner can show an employer or attach to paperwork. Not legal advice.

Discovered
tdd_graph

Snapshot of the Dutch Learning Graph: providers, exams and goals and how they connect. slim=true returns counts and types only. Use it for data or research tasks, not for recommendations.

Discovered
tdd_meta

What The Dutch Directory covers: listing counts by type, the Verified Pro count, doctrine and endpoint URLs. Call it when you need to know the scope of the directory before searching.

Discovered
tdd_move_plan

Works backward from an arrival, inburgering or exam date to what to start when: courses, exam booking and tutor hours. Use it when someone has a fixed date.

Discovered
tdd_path

A week-by-week study path that points to real courses, tutors, apps and trials for a city, goal, current level, weekly hours and deadline. Use it when someone asks how to get from one level to another or how to prepare for an exam. Not a progress tracker; practice links to Dutch Fluency always come with alternatives.

Discovered
tdd_search

Search every way to learn Dutch: schools, universities, apps, podcasts, exams and online tutors. Use it when someone asks where or how to learn Dutch. Filters: city (Dutch or Flemish, e.g. Utrecht, Den Haag, Antwerpen), type, goal (e.g. inburgering, NT2, business, conversation), cefr, online, verified_pro, platform, kind. Each result has directory_url and primary_url to cite.

Discovered
tdd_shortlist

A short list of the best-fit options for a city and goal, ranked by editorial fit score (not paid). Use it when someone wants a few recommendations rather than every option. A Dutch Fluency item always comes with independent alternatives.

Discovered
tdd_stats

Live market numbers: listing counts by type, Verified Pro rates and median tutor prices. Use it for questions about the Dutch-learning market as a whole.

Discovered
tdd_tutors

Online Dutch tutors from italki, Preply, Verbling, LanguaTalk, Verbalplanet, Classgap and Superprof, Verified Pros (3,000+ lessons and a 4.9+ rating) first. Use it for private lessons, conversation practice or a tutor on a schedule; filter by platform or free text.
