Practise the Dutch you want to use in everyday life. Zeggie combines spoken conversations, vocabulary flashcards, and A2 inburgering practice. Hear Dutch, answer aloud, and get feedback to guide your next session. CONVERSATIONS THAT GROW WITH YOU Take turns speaking with an AI character in everyday situations, from shopping and ordering food to making plans. Beginner scenarios are introduced in English, with Dutch narration as you progress. Pause, rewind, or adjust playback speed when you need more time. VOCABULARY, YOUR WAY Practise Dutch-to-English and English-to-Dutch cards with an original vocabulary course. Listen to Dutch audio, answer aloud, and review words according to how well you remember them. Add your own Dutch words to generate translations and audio, or use silent mode. SPOKEN A2 EXAM PRACTICE Try 10 inburgering-style practice questions. Listen to a question in Dutch, answer aloud, and review pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and content feedback. Your estimated exam readiness uses your latest 20 practice answers and is tracked separately from your progress toward A2. Zeggie is an independent practice tool, not an official DUO exam or a guarantee of passing. YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR CHOICE Follow your practice progress and manage your learned words. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. AI sharing and optional product analytics have separate choices. Decline AI sharing to keep using silent vocabulary practice. Open Settings from the top right of Your level to manage privacy choices or delete your account. Zeggie is for adults aged 18 and over. AI-generated content and scores can be inaccurate and are not certified language assessments. An internet connection is required for sign-in and AI features. Speaking requires microphone permission and sends recordings to AI services as described in the privacy notice. Progress is stored on your device; cross-device progress recovery is not currently supported. OPTIONAL TIPS Zeggie is free to use. If you would like to support the app, you can leave an optional, one-time tip through Apple’s in-app purchases. Tips do not unlock features; all app features remain available without tipping. There is no subscription. Settings also shows your recorded AI usage and estimated provider costs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zeggie at none against De Het's shown. Zeggie also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 months). De Het's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
