About inburgering.help
A free website for people preparing for the Dutch inburgering exams and the Staatsexamen NT2.
What you find here
A Dutch dictionary built from a word list that was collected and checked by hand over many years. Each word has its meaning in your language, its forms and example sentences. There are also practice exams for the KNM and reading parts. Listening, writing and speaking are planned.
Your language
The site is available in Dutch, English, Persian, Arabic and Turkish. Word meanings are in English and Persian now. Russian, Chinese and Arabic follow later.
How we check the words
A word counts as reviewed only after a person has looked at it. Drafts made by a machine are not published as final, and every field keeps a note of where it came from.
Where our data comes from
Besides our own work we use open sources, such as Wiktionary (through kaikki.org) and Tatoeba. Their licences ask us to name the source. The Sources page lists what we use and who we credit.
Our own exams
The practice exams are written for this site. They are not copies of DUO exams. An exam that a teacher has not reviewed yet is marked as a draft.
Free to use
The dictionary, the practice exams and their explanations stay free. We plan to pay for the site with quiet ads, sponsors, membership and a paid word API for developers. There will be no ads during an exam.
Not an official site
inburgering.help is not a DUO website and is not connected to DUO or the government. We cannot promise that you will pass. Check the official requirements at DUO.
