How to Learn Dutch for Free

Dutch is a native language in several regions around the world, including the countries of Belgium and the Netherlands. Dutch colonies can be found in France, New Zealand and other parts of the world. If you are traveling or thinking about transferring to a Dutch-speaking country, it can help to be familiar with the language. Basic language lessons are available for free online, and passing them should allow you to communicate with native people for business or traveling purposes.
