Dutch from age 10 to 16
Language that adds up.
"word" or "wordt", "de" or "het", "daarom" or "toch". Zin explains Dutch the way you need it at school, and gives you the matching rule with every mistake.

How a topic works
First the question, then the picture, then the rule.
Every topic has the same four blocks, always in this order. That way you know where you are.
Why
A question from real life. In a text message, do you write "word je" or "wordt je"?
See it
A picture you play with: build a verb, sort words, move a linking word. The rule becomes visible.
Get it
The explanation in plain words, then the rule, and an example worked out step by step.
Do it
Exercises that are checked straight away. If you make a mistake, you see which rule you are missing. And a new exercise every time.
After that you read the typical pitfalls, where you meet it in real life, a bit of history and what you need to know first or can learn next.

Who it is for
For those who learn, help and teach.
For pupils
Start with what you are not sure about. Play with the picture until you see the rule, and practise until you feel you can do it. A mistake is information, not a punishment.
Start practisingFor parents
You no longer need to know the rules yourself. Every topic explains them the way school does, also in French, German and English, with a question to talk about together at the table.

Show a picture in class, let pupils practise at their own level and print a worksheet with the answers.
