Where do the 100 words come from? Is this a real frequency list?

Yes. The list is hand-picked from three public, named sources: the CEFR Nederlands as Tweede Taal (NT2) A1 reference list published by CITO (cito.nl, the Dutch national testing institute), the SUBTLEX-NL subtitle frequency corpus from Ghent University (crr.ugent.be/subtlex-nl — built from 44 million tokens of Dutch and Flemish subtitles, the same data psycholinguists use), and the Van Dale Pocketwoordenboek Nederlands as Tweede Taal A1 / A2 headword list. Articles (de / het) and plurals come straight from Woordenlijst Nederlandse Taal (woordenlijst.org), the official Taalunie spelling reference accepted in both the Netherlands and Flanders. We dropped pure function-word noise (en, dat, the bare article de) because beginners can't build a sentence around "dat" — they need concrete vocabulary. The 100 we kept are the words A1 textbooks (Nederlands in Gang, Code Plus, Help! 1) all ship with in their first three chapters. No LLM-invented entries; if any entry feels off, file an issue with a Van Dale or Woordenlijst reference and we'll fix it.

Why only 100 words? Won't I need more to actually speak Dutch?

Because the first 100 lemmas cover roughly 50% of spoken Dutch token frequency (per SUBTLEX-NL). The next 400 add another 15%, and word 1 001 is below 0.02% — at that point your time is better spent on input than on flashcards. The honest path is: finish these 100, then watch 50 hours of comprehensible Dutch (NOS Jeugdjournaal, Bart de Pau on YouTube, the Dutchies to be podcast) before you reach for word 200. Dutch grammar is famously gentle — no cases like German, no gendered articles beyond de/het, regular plurals in -en or -s — so a strong 500-word base unlocks more sentences faster than the same effort in German or Russian. This tool is the minimum viable vocabulary so you can start consuming real Dutch; it is not a substitute for input.

The audio — is it a real Dutch voice or robot?

It's your operating system's built-in Dutch text-to-speech voice, routed through the browser's Web Speech API. macOS ships Xander (Netherlands) and Ellen (Belgium / Flemish) — both natural. Windows uses Frank and Hanna from Microsoft. Linux falls back to espeak which is robotic; install mbrola-nl2 / mbrola-nl3 for a major upgrade. We don't ship our own audio files because (a) 100 words × MP3 would balloon the page past the 28 KB budget, and (b) your OS voices are already near-broadcast quality and free. For nouns we ask the TTS to read the article + noun together ("de hond", "het huis") because that's how Dutch children learn the article and how your ear will remember it. To switch between Netherlandic and Flemish accents, change your OS default voice — the tool just forwards whatever nl-NL / nl-BE voice you have. (The /j/ in "ja" is a soft glide in NL but closer to a hard /j/ in BE — pick the accent you'll actually hear.)

Why is de / het color-coded on every noun?

Because Dutch noun "gender" (officially "common" vs "neuter") cascades to four other things in the sentence. "Het kleine huisje, dat ik koop" (the little house that I buy) — versus "de kleine hond, die ik koop" — the adjective ending (klein vs kleine for "het" words in indefinite singular), the demonstrative (dit/dat vs deze/die), the relative pronoun (dat vs die), and the diminutive's article (always "het" for diminutives, no matter the base) all change. There are no reliable shortcuts: 75% of nouns are "de" but the 25% "het" words include very common ones (het huis, het kind, het water, het jaar, het boek). The only safe strategy is to learn the article at the same time as the word, with a visual anchor. We use blue for de and orange for het — pick a system and stick to it; 100 cards in, your visual memory does the heavy lifting.

Why include the plural form for every noun?

Because while Dutch plurals are mostly regular, the choice between -en and -s and the vowel-lengthening rule trip beginners. Most nouns take -en (hond → honden, boek → boeken). Loanwords and words ending in unstressed -e, -el, -em, -en, -er, -aar, -erd often take -s (auto → auto's, tafel → tafels). And short-vowel + single-consonant nouns double the consonant before -en to preserve the short vowel (bus → bussen, man → mannen), while long-vowel + consonant nouns drop one vowel letter (boom → bomen, uur → uren). Woordenlijst lists every plural for a reason; we ship it on every noun card so you internalise the spelling rule, not just the word.

Is there a way to test myself, not just read the list?

Yes — hit the "Practice" button and the tool quizzes you on whatever set is currently shown. Filter to one category (just the het-words, just the verbs) or flip on "Favorites" to drill only the words you starred, then start the quiz. There are two directions, and the toggle next to the Practice button picks which: "NL → meaning" (recognition — you see the Dutch word and pick the meaning in your interface language) or "meaning → NL" (recall — you see the meaning and pick the Dutch word, which is harder and trains the active production you actually need to speak). You also choose the answer format: "Multiple choice" picks from four options, or "Type it" makes you type the answer from memory with no options shown — the same production drill Anki and Clozemaster use, and the single best predictor of whether you can actually write Dutch. Typed answers are graded leniently so you're never failed on trivia: case, spacing and a trailing parenthetical note are ignored, any one of a word's listed senses counts ("hi" or "hello" for "hallo"), an English verb gloss works with or without the leading "to" ("be" or "to be"), and in recall mode the de/het article is optional ("brood" or "het brood" both pass). Get it wrong and the tool shows you the exact answer. Real flashcard apps drill both directions for a reason: recognising "hond" means "dog" is easy; producing "hond" when you want to say "dog" is the skill that lets you talk. Your chosen direction and format are remembered on this device. The play button works inside the quiz — in recall mode it appears once you've answered so the audio never gives the answer away. Distractors are pulled from the same set you're drilling and never repeat the right answer's meaning or spelling, so a colors quiz tests you against other colors, not against unrelated nouns. Your running score shows at the top. Nothing is uploaded — the quiz runs entirely in your browser, same as the rest of the tool.

Why are the d/t spelling rules and verb stem changes shown for every verb?

Because Dutch verb spelling has one big trap: 't kofschip (or 't fokschaap). For regular verbs in the past tense and past participle, you add -t after a stem ending in t-k-f- s-ch-p (the consonants in "kofschip") and -d after every other consonant or vowel. Present tense has its own rule: stem ends in -d? You still write "ik word, jij wordt, hij wordt" — the t is added for jij/hij even after a d-stem (and "wordt" looks like a misspelling to beginners but is the official form). Strong verbs like "zijn" (to be) are highly irregular: ik BEN / jij BENT / hij IS / wij ZIJN / jullie ZIJN / zij ZIJN — six forms, four different spellings. "Hebben" (to have): ik HEB / jij HEBT / hij HEEFT / wij HEBBEN. Showing the full 6-person table on every card means you see the irregularities the first time, not the tenth.

Can I track which words I already know and skip them?

Yes — use the two rating buttons (◐ Familiar / ✓ Know it) that appear on every card. Tap ◐ when you recognise a word but aren't confident yet; tap ✓ when you can produce it from memory without hesitation. Then hit the "Review" toggle in the toolbar: it hides every word you've marked ✓ and shows only unrated and ◐ words — so each study session targets your real gaps. Ratings survive page reloads (stored in localStorage on this device, never uploaded). To re-examine a word you marked ✓, tap the same button again and the rating is cleared.

Why are discourse connectors and modal verbs listed under "Prepositions"?

Because the tool has 19 semantic categories and "conjunction" was never added as a standalone filter tab — the category buckets are for daily-life topics (food, transport, emotions) rather than grammatical classes. Words like maar (but), want / omdat (because), als (if/when), dus (so), and the adverbs ook (also), dan (then), zo (like this), nog (still), al (already), even (just a moment), hoe (how), and wanneer (when) are filed under the "Prepositions" tab because that is where all the short connective and function words live — alongside pronouns like ik / jij / wij and indefinite pronouns like iets / niets / iedereen. The modal verbs moeten (must / have to) and mogen (may / be allowed to) are under "Verbs" where you can drill their full 6-person conjugation tables. All of these words are among the top-100 most frequent lemmas in the SUBTLEX-NL subtitle corpus and are included exactly because you cannot build even a simple causal or conditional sentence in Dutch without them: "Ik ga niet, want ik ben moe." / "Als het regent, neem ik een paraplu." / "Ik moet naar huis." — three sentences any A1 learner needs in their first week.

Can I export the word list to Anki or another flashcard app?

Yes — click the "Export TSV" button in the toolbar. It downloads a tab-separated file containing every word currently shown (filtered by the active category, search, favourites, or review mode). Each row has nine fields: Dutch word, article (de/het), IPA, English meaning, Chinese meaning, part of speech, plural (for nouns), the Dutch example sentence, and the example translation in your interface language. In Anki, choose File → Import, set the separator to Tab, check "Allow HTML in fields", and skip the first row (header). Map the fields to a note type with the columns you want on the front and back of each card. Because the export honours your active filter, you can — for example — export only the words you've starred, or only the verbs, or only the words you haven't rated yet.

Pass the coffee-shop test before your KLM flight lands

You land at Schiphol in three weeks and want to order "een koffie verkeerd en een appeltaart, alstublieft" without switching to English. Filter to the food and greetings categories, star 30 cards, and tap the play button so your ear locks onto "de koffie" vs "het broodje". Ten minutes a day for 20 days and the café exchange stops being scary.

Stop guessing de or het before your NT2 A2 exam

The CITO inburgering and CNaVT writing graders dock points when you write "de huis" instead of "het huis". Drill the 25% het words that hide among common nouns (het kind, het jaar, het water, het boek) using the blue/orange color anchor. Star every het word you miss, review the starred list daily, and the four cascading errors (dit/dat, die, adjective ending, diminutive) stop showing up in your essays.

Build a Dutch base before moving to Amsterdam for work

You signed a contract starting in two months and want to greet colleagues, read a pinpas receipt, and not freeze at "Wil je een kopje koffie?". Work through the school-and-work and daily-routine categories first, then transport so "fiets", "gracht", and "Schiphol" are automatic. With 100 words you read half the words on a NS train screen.

Give a heritage learner a clean 6-person verb start

Your Flemish grandmother spoke nl-BE and you want the right accent. Set your OS voice to Ellen (Belgium) so the play button reads "ja" with the harder Flemish /j/. Drill the 40 verbs with the full conjugation table open so "ik ben / jij bent / hij is" and "ik word / jij wordt" are visible the first time, not the tenth, and the d/t spelling sticks.

What this tool does

The fastest honest start to Dutch, now expanded to the full A1–A2 core. 500 hand-picked words from CITO NT2 A1–A2 (cito.nl), the SUBTLEX-NL subtitle corpus (Ghent University, 44M tokens), Van Dale Pocket NT2, and the Woordenlijst Nederlandse Taal (Taalunie official, NL + Flanders). Original 10 categories all expanded (greetings, numbers 1–miljoen, all 7 days / 12 months / 4 seasons, kinship, food covering stroopwafel / haring / frites / Goudse kaas / jenever / pannenkoek / poffertjes, colors, animals, 40+ verbs with full 6-person present-tense conjugation and separable-verb marking, adjectives, prepositions) plus 9 new sub-categories: body (22), weather (14), transport with fiets / gracht / Schiphol (16), clothing (14), house (18), emotion including the untranslatable gezellig and lekker (16), place with molen / Vondelpark (16), school and work with euro / pinpas (14), and daily routine (14).

Every card shows: Dutch spelling, IPA per Van Dale, EN + ZH meanings, part of speech with de / het color-coded on every noun (75% are "de", 25% are "het" — get it wrong and the demonstrative, diminutive, and relative pronoun all shift), the official plural, an example sentence with EN + ZH, and for verbs the full 6-person table with the d/t rule made obvious (zijn: ik ben / jij bent / hij is; hebben: ik heb / jij hebt / hij heeft; worden: ik word / jij wordt / hij wordt). A play button uses your browser's built-in Dutch voice (Web Speech API, no signup, no download). For nouns the TTS reads the article + noun together so your ear locks in de/het. Filter by category, search by Dutch / English / Chinese, star words to a private localStorage study list — never uploaded.

Why 100 and not 3 000? It's the difference between "ik kan niks zeggen" and ordering a koffie verkeerd and understanding the reply. Pair this with Bart de Pau on YouTube and NOS Journaal in Makkelijke Taal — a month later you're holding short conversations. The free path to CNaVT starts here.

Real-world use cases

Pass the coffee-shop test before your KLM flight lands
You land at Schiphol in three weeks and want to order "een koffie verkeerd en een appeltaart, alstublieft" without switching to English. Filter to the food and greetings categories, star 30 cards, and tap the play button so your ear locks onto "de koffie" vs "het broodje". Ten minutes a day for 20 days and the café exchange stops being scary.
Stop guessing de or het before your NT2 A2 exam
The CITO inburgering and CNaVT writing graders dock points when you write "de huis" instead of "het huis". Drill the 25% het words that hide among common nouns (het kind, het jaar, het water, het boek) using the blue/orange color anchor. Star every het word you miss, review the starred list daily, and the four cascading errors (dit/dat, die, adjective ending, diminutive) stop showing up in your essays.
Build a Dutch base before moving to Amsterdam for work
You signed a contract starting in two months and want to greet colleagues, read a pinpas receipt, and not freeze at "Wil je een kopje koffie?". Work through the school-and-work and daily-routine categories first, then transport so "fiets", "gracht", and "Schiphol" are automatic. With 100 words you read half the words on a NS train screen.
Give a heritage learner a clean 6-person verb start
Your Flemish grandmother spoke nl-BE and you want the right accent. Set your OS voice to Ellen (Belgium) so the play button reads "ja" with the harder Flemish /j/. Drill the 40 verbs with the full conjugation table open so "ik ben / jij bent / hij is" and "ik word / jij wordt" are visible the first time, not the tenth, and the d/t spelling sticks.

Common pitfalls

Memorizing the noun without its article. "huis" alone is useless; learn "het huis" as one unit, or dit/dat, die, the adjective ending, and the diminutive all break in the same sentence.
Treating Dutch like German and forcing cases. Dutch has no nominative/accusative/dative split. Don't drill der/dem/den; just nail de vs het and you have covered the article system.
Skipping the play button and guessing pronunciation. Dutch "g" in "gracht" and "ui" in "huis" have no English equal. Tap play, copy the OS voice out loud, or you will say "house" when you mean "huis".

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. The word list ships with the page, the play button uses your operating system's built-in Dutch voice through the Web Speech API, and nothing you do is sent to a server. Words you star go to localStorage on this device only and are never uploaded. The category filter and search box do not write to the URL, so your study list stays private even if you share the page link.
