Real ward Dutch, sorted by care moment: from the morning greeting to the evening report. Every phrase is a full sentence you can use today, with the English next to it. In the Dutch Daily app you hear each one spoken by real Dutch voices and practise them in AI roleplays.
Written Dutch, and the hardest skill for most international nurses: objective, short, complete. Observations, not interpretations.
Reading phrases is step one. In the Zorg Academy every care routine comes as a four-step ladder: read a full dialogue and choose your responses, then a guided session where a coach whispers “Misschien kan je zeggen…” when you get stuck, then a real AI roleplay with a spiekbrief next to it, and finally an exam roleplay without help, graded on language and on care content. Around 50 routines, vocabulary in Dutch, English and Portuguese.
Because that is how you speak on a ward. A word list gives you “de pijn”; a sentence gives you “Welk cijfer geeft u de pijn, van nul tot tien?” with the grammar and rhythm built in. Sentences transfer to real conversations; loose words rarely do.
You address patients and family with “u” unless they invite you to say “je”. Colleagues are almost always “je”. The phrases above follow that convention.
A2 to B1. That is deliberate: it matches the BIG language requirement for nurses and the level you need for safe daily care communication.
Yes. In the Dutch Daily app the care dialogues are voiced by natural Dutch voices, and you practise speaking them in AI roleplays that give you a transcript and feedback per conversation.
