SIX INTERFACE LANGUAGES Use Beetje in English, Dutch, Spanish, Polish, Chinese or Persian. The Dutch course content always stays Dutch. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU • The core course and review work offline. • No ads, no trackers, no selling your data. • Optional Sign in with Apple to back up and sync across your devices. • Delete your account and all your data any time, right inside the app. "Beetje" means "a little" in Dutch. Learn a little, every day, and it adds up. Note: optional AI features (short stories and examples) send text to an AI service to generate content. You can use the whole app without them.
