How Music, Netflix and Memes Can Teach You Dutch (Seriously!)

Published on 22 October 2025 at 17:00

Who says learning a language has to be boring? If you’re a millennial or Gen-Z type, you already watch Netflix, listen to music and spend time on memes. So why not turn that screen time into learning time? Dutch is perfect for this because you can use culture you love as your study tool—without even realising it.

 

1. Learn Dutch through your favourite songs

Start with catchy Dutch tracks. Look up the lyrics, sing along, laugh at the weird words, get curious. Music fixes pronunciation, vocabulary and culture in one go. Bonus: you’ll impress friends when you casually drop a Dutch phrase from a song.

 

2. Binge Dutch series with subtitles

Switch some of your shows to Dutch or Flemish with English subtitles. You’ll pick up phrases, sentence flow and pronunciation without hitting a textbook. It’s immersive, it’s fun—it’s growth disguised as Netflix time.

 

3. Meme culture = language culture

Young people speak meme. Dutch meme pages, humour threads and TikTok clips expose you to slang, current expressions and real-life Dutch. If you feel absurd learning grammar first, this flips the script—language learns you instead.

 

Don’t fight your habits—upgrade them. Let your playlists, your binge-sessions and your meme-scrolling become part of your Dutch-learning journey. With DutchProf, you get guidance and freedom to learn your way.
