Tulp: Inburgering & KNM Prep

Preparing for the inburgering exam? Tulp is built for the exam, not for learning Dutch slowly over years. It teaches the words and grammar the exams use, and lets you practice KNM until you know it.

Tulp is an independent app. It does not represent DUO, the IND or any other government entity.

One app for three exams
• Reading (Lezen): 3,700+ words from A1 to B1 and 28 grammar lessons, so exam texts make sense
• Writing (Schrijven): grammar plus 370+ fixed phrases for letters and emails
• KNM: 640+ questions on the 2025 exam objectives, with map questions and a timed mock exam
• Every word, sentence and question can be heard in Dutch

Words that stick
• 3,700+ words from A1 to B1, each with an example sentence, article, plural and verb forms
• New to Dutch? Start from zero with 595 A1 basics in small themed steps
• Spaced repetition (FSRS) brings every word back just before you'd forget it
• Words used in KNM questions come first, so you learn what the exam actually uses
• Hear every word and example sentence spoken
• A quick "de or het?" drill for articles

KNM practice
• 640+ original questions covering all eight KNM themes
• Written against the official exam objectives (eindtermen) that apply from 1 July 2025
• Map questions, as in the exam: provinces, cities, the Afsluitdijk and the Delta Works
• Every question can be read aloud in Dutch
• Timed mock exam: 40 questions in 45 minutes
• Wrong-answer book and favorites
• Every answer is explained, with a link to an official or trusted source
• Tap any word in a question to see its meaning and add it to your deck. Words you haven't learned yet are underlined.

Grammar and phrases
• 28 grammar lessons, each with the rule in one line, color-coded sentence diagrams, a comparison with English (and with Chinese or Japanese) and the mistakes learners often make
• 334 grammar exercises, including word-order puzzles
• 370+ fixed prepositions, collocations and phrases for letters and emails, with fill-the-gap practice
