Why learn Dutch
Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, Belgium (alongside French and German), and several Caribbean territories. The Netherlands is one of Kenya's significant trade and development partners, and Dutch-speaking tourists are a notable presence on the Kenyan coast.
Dutch is valuable for:
- Working with Dutch-speaking guests in Diani's tourism sector
- Business and trade with Dutch and Belgian companies
- Preparation for living or studying in the Netherlands or Belgium
- Family or personal connections to Dutch-speaking communities
