Common questions
What is the Listening exam?

How can I practice Listening?
Listen to short clips that match the exam format and answer questions. Repeat until the pace feels more normal. Inbu is built for that: short sessions, audio, and instant feedback.
Is Luisteren only listening practice?
Each module starts with the key words, then grammar, then exam-format listening questions. The exam itself tests how you follow real spoken Dutch under time pressure, which that path trains.
Why does Dutch sound so fast?
People swallow sounds and speak informally. That’s normal. You mostly need listening practice. The grammar step in each module is short and exam-focused, not abstract theory.
How does Inbu help with Listening?
You practice with short audio and exam-style questions, and you see what you miss. Sessions fit a lunch break or a train ride. After a free sample you can keep practicing in the same format.
Are these real DUO exam questions?
No. Inbu does not use official DUO exam questions. You practice with questions in exam format (multiple choice with audio) so you learn the pace and question type. For the real exam, register via DUO / Mijn Inburgering on inburgeren.nl.
What does interactive practice in exam format mean on Inbu?
You practise the question type for this exam part in a short session, with feedback. Inbu writes these questions. They are not official DUO items, and a practice score is not a pass result. For the official benchmark, use the practice exams on inburgeren.nl.
How do I start this part for free?
