BIB exam
with confidence.
Structured vocabulary, speaking, reading, and KNS practice for English-speaking learners preparing for the Dutch Basisexamen inburgering buitenland.
BIB candidates need focused A1 Dutch, a manageable study loop, and practice that maps to the actual exam — not a generic language course. Anais narrows the promise on purpose.

The dashboard surfaces your current study block — vocabulary, speaking, or KNS review — so you never have to decide where to begin.

Words return before they fade
New Dutch words are introduced in small aligned sets. The review timer brings weak items back at the right moment, not after you've already forgotten them.

Practice the actual exam formats
Speaking prompts mirror Part 1 and Part 2 of the embassy session. Reading uses functional texts and multiple-choice — the same structure as the real test.

KNS gets its own focused loop
Society-knowledge content is drilled separately because it depends on accurate memorization of official material, not general comprehension.
Common questions
Plain answers for common BIB prep questions
What is the BIB exam?
The Basisexamen inburgering buitenland is the Dutch civic integration exam taken before entry for many MVV applicants. It includes speaking, reading, and KNS.
Is Anais a full Dutch course?
No. It is a focused prep tool for English-speaking learners aiming at the BIB exam and the Dutch A1 material that supports it.
Does it include KNS practice?
Yes. KNS gets its own targeted study flow because that part of the exam depends heavily on memorizing official content accurately.
Do I need a teacher to use it?
Not necessarily. Anais is designed for self-study, but it fits well alongside the official workbook or a teacher-led routine.
