Useful Dutch for the life you already live.
You can live in the Netherlands for years and still spend most of your day in English. Leksio helps Dutch show up in the moments around that bubble: one useful word, one real sentence, and one short review at a time.

See how practice works
When English stops being enough.
Work, friends, and errands can all run smoothly in English. Then a neighbour asks a favour, a municipal letter lands on the mat, or the GP’s assistant calls. Leksio starts with those practical edges of daily life.
Heb je even?
Across the landing
A small request from the neighbour you usually only wave to.
vóór 14 mei
Inside the envelope
The sentence that tells you what the municipality needs next.
Sinds wanneer?
At the practice
The words for describing what hurts and understanding the next step.
Built around life here.
Explore Dutch by situation, not by a generic textbook chapter. Each area holds words and sentences you can notice, remember, and use around the Netherlands.

You do not need a perfect answer. Make a quiet guess, look at the meaning in context, then tell Leksio how recall felt. That honest signal shapes what comes back.

Good to know.
Is Leksio a complete Dutch course?
No. Leksio focuses on useful vocabulary and recall practice for daily life. It can complement classes, conversation, reading, and time spent using Dutch outside the app.
Do I choose what to practise?
You can explore life areas and decks, while the review queue brings back words according to your previous ratings.
Does it include pronunciation?
Supported words and example sentences include Dutch audio. Leksio is a recall tool, not an automated pronunciation assessment.
Will it send lots of notifications?
Reminders are optional. When enabled, Leksio can send an evening reminder if your review pile has reached ten cards.
When can I download it?
Leksio is available now for iPhone. Use the download buttons on this page to get it from the App Store. Android is coming soon.
Make Dutch part of an ordinary day.
A useful word at breakfast. A short review on the tram. A little more Dutch where you already are.
