Complete common admin tasks: register at the gemeente, request a BSN, open a bank account, set up zorgverzekering and DigiD, read basic forms and call offices.

How are the lessons structured?

Ten lessons, each focused on a single bureaucratic task with short audio dialogues, vocabulary lists, comprehension checks and speaking prompts for role-play.
