In this post, we’ll share 10 A2-level Dutch questions, each one designed to help you prepare for your spreekvaardigheid exam. These questions are similar to what you’ll find on Dutch Coach, our Telegram-based AI practice tool.

Why speaking practice matters at A2 level

At A2 level, you’re expected to talk about familiar topics such as family, work, hobbies, and your neighborhood. Practicing helps you:

  • Build sentence structure
  • Use “waarom?” (why?) to explain your answers
  • Feel more confident in exams and conversations
