Dutch by Skype
There’s several ways you can learn Dutch via Skype. It’s handy since they can correct your mistakes directly.

You can also find some language exchange partners there and search for a group in your own language (if it’s not English).

Public news The public news agencies publish news every day. It’s excellent Dutch. Try to compare the news items with the news in your own language, so you already have a background. There’s lots of news movies as well so you can work on your comprehension while keeping up with the latest gossips and international events.

subtitles in Dutch. The first links are Dutch films, the other Flemish films.
