Best Apps to Learn Dutch in 2026

Bubblegum suits learners who want Dutch built around their own lives. Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, what you want to learn. She writes lessons for your level and helps you understand the words and grammar. You can read and listen, and ask her about anything that is unclear. News and stories give you more Dutch to read about music, food, family, and other things you care about. Bubblegum teaches Dutch as it is spoken in the Netherlands.

The trade-off is that Bubblegum does not replace real Dutch voices. For recorded speakers, Pimsleur and Mango are the better fit, and for conversation, try the apps in Learn With People.
