Conversation course A2Ik vond de cursus "conversation course A2" prima. Het thema gebruikt een goed vocabulaire, waarvan ik veel heb geleerd. De grammaticatips hebben me geholpen om mijn Nederlands te verbeteren. Ik raad deze cursus aan aan mensen die hun spreekvaardigheid willen verbeteren.

Grammar Boost B1I really loved this course! I had not been in a group class before and I was surprised by how well you kept everyone engaged, and how much fun it was. The lessons were very well organized and the pace was perfect for me. I liked the way you had us interacting with each other so there was a conversational element, which gave me more confidence in my listening and speaking abilities.

Conversation course A2Ik vind deze cursus zo leuk dat ik hem nu vier keer heb gevolgd. Elke week bespreken we een interessant onderwerp en Ida maakt de klas leuk, interessant en informatief. We leren niet alleen over een verscheidenheid aan Nederlandse dingen, we leren ook over elkaar terwijl iedereen bijdraagt aan het gesprek. Ik raad deze leuke cursus zeker aan!

Share Your StoryTijdens deze cursus had ik een uniek kans om spreken en schrijven in Nederlands te oefenen. Omdat er geen specifiek structuur is, kon ik mijn eigen creativiteit de vrije loop laten. Ik vond ook heel interessant presentaties van andere mensen te horen.

Share your story course Ik heb veel conversatiecursussen gevolgd. Maar de "Deel je Verhaal-cursus" is heel anders en heel nuttig. Ik heb al veel geleerd toen ik de presentatie aan het voorbereiden was. De voorbereiding neemt ook niet veel tijd in beslag. Omdat je tijdens de presentatie meer en coherenter spreekt dan in de "normale" conversatiecursus, krijg je ook een meer individuele feedback. Warmste aanbeveling voor de cursus!

+Yes. We are a registered Dutch business and provide invoices.Can you tell me a bit more about yourself?
+I am a professional Dutch teacher, living in Amsterdam. I used to teach Dutch at a school in the Netherlands, but I moved to Spain in 2017 (and back to Amsterdam in 2020), which made me explore the possibilities to teach Dutch offline and online. I have given over 2500 online Dutch lessons. I am still learning Spanish myself and I know the process is long and difficult at times, but I enjoy the little moments of success. The feeling that conversations get more and more natural is really rewarding. In my free time I enjoy running, reading, spending time with family and friends and cooking (+ eating ;).I don't know what I need to work on. Is that a problem?
+Absolutely not. In private lessons I will quickly get an idea of your needs and will share my opinion with you, giving you clear tips to get your Dutch to the next level. In conversation lessons, you will get lots of opportunities to practice your speaking skills. In the structured group lessons I will make sure every student gets the support he or she needs and I will give you personal feedback outside the lessons too.I want to combine our lessons with self study, is that possible?
+Of course. Especially private lessons and structured group lessons go well with self study. Homework is included in packages and it will be completely tailored to your needs. In the structured group lessons, we will work with a book. Certain exercises are perfect for self-study. I will indicate which ones and give feedback and support, also outside the lessons.I am not sure about my level. What do I do?
+If you have followed Dutch courses before, you can start where you left off. So if you, for example, passed an A2 exam, you can move on working from A2 to B1. You can always send an email if you are in doubt. I will then help you decide which course fits you best. For private lessons, your level doesn’t matter. I will always tailor the material to your needs, whether you are a beginner or working towards C1.Do you have any other doubt?
+Do not hesitate in contacting us in the bottom link at this page to write us an email with whatever doubt you may have, we will be delighted to respond as fast as we can.
