Grammar Boost B1Ik probeer nu al zes jaar Nederlands te leren en heb veel leraren gehad, maar weinigen waren zo geduldig en begripvol. Ik vond je aanpak, je directe werk met ons en het modelleren van zinnen met ons heel nuttig. Je kunt erop rekenen dat ik samen met jou Nederlands blijf leren!

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 A2I love the different themes and the follow-up questions. Other student's answers gave me a different perspective of the world. Hence; I learned not only some Dutch but also about other countries & cultures; which is fun!

Conversation C1Ik vond het super leuk door de interessante onderwerpen en de kans om met andere mensen te praten. Dat was een goede uitdaging voor mij omdat ik privé lessen neem.

A2 conversagtionI found the course really good. Ida is a great teacher. She corrects in an instructful way what you said by typing the conversations in the chat, so you can study them after. And she is not seeking perfection which paralyzes. The participants can suggest topics based on their preferences which is nice and difficult concepts are explained very well.

A2 Grammar BoostDe cursus "Grammar Boost A2" is een uitstekende manier om Nederlands te leren. Als je je Nederlandse grammatica wilt verbeteren, raad ik het aan, omdat de lessen erg dynamisch en praktisch zijn en lerares Ida veel kennis heeft van de Nederlandse taal, ze geeft ons elke week les en legt de inhoud van de les uit met grote efficiëntie, gemak en enthousiasme.

Put it into practice A2 Dit was een geweldige cursus. Voor degenen onder ons die wilden bekijken wat we hebben geleerd in de A2 Grammar Boost, maar nog niet door wilden gaan naar B1 Grammar Boost, dit was de perfecte tussenoplossing. Ik zou deze cursus zeker nog een keer aanbieden aan iedereen die wat meer tijd wil nemen om te oefenen wat ze al hebben geleerd......en op een leuke manier!

Share your storyIk vond de cursus "Share your Story" geweldig. Het heeft me geholpen mijn uitspraak, vloeiendheid en woordenschat te verbeteren. Ook het luisteren naar de presentaties van de andere deelnemers was erg goed voor mijn auditief begrip. Alle deelnemers waren aardig en de feedback van Ida in de chat was erg nuttig.

B2 conversation courseDe Conversatiecursus B2 bood mij een geweldige kans om mijn gesproken Nederlands te verbeteren. De docent moedigde de deelnemers aan en creëerde een ontspannen sfeer, maar ze liet geen taalfouten van ons gaan. Er was een goede mix van mensen, discussieonderwerpen, serieuze studie van de taal en humor. Ik kan deze cursus zonder aarzeling aanbevelen.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pay by transfer?
+We now do accept transfers as a payment method. Just send us an email to info@thedutchonlineacademy.com" and we will send you the booking links and give you more details!How does the onboarding lesson work?
+You will have a level overview and some practice and homework. During the trial lessons we can get to know each other and set learning goals together. I can get an impression of your level and needs and I will share my thoughts with you. After the lesson you will get a homework assignment that I will correct for you.Can you tell me a bit more about yourself?
+I am a Dutch teacher, living in Spain. I used to teach Dutch at a school in the Netherland (near Nijmegen), but I moved to Spain in 2017, which made me explore the possibilities to teach Dutch online. I also taught Dutch at a language institute. 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 ;)).How are the lessons structured?
+During our first lesson I can get an idea of your level and your needs. I have a wide range of topics, speaking exercises and articles we can use. Of course I will give you feedback on your pronounciaton, use of grammar and vocabulary. If you have a specific topic you would like to work on, you can either bring it to class or let me know in advance via e-mail. Bare in mind that I will have to get to know your level and needs a little bit to help you best, I therefor strongely recommend multiple lessons. I will always share with you what I have in mind for the homework and our next lesson.I don't know what I need to work on. Is that a problem?
+Absolutely not. I will quickly get an idea of your needs and will share my opinion with you.I want to combine our lessons with self study, is that possible?
+I will diagnose your strengths and opportunities to develop your Dutch further. You will receive homework (normally using Google Docs). This is usually a mix of writing, reading, grammar and listening exercises but it largely depends on your needs and goals. I will correct the homework for you and we can discuss it during our next lesson if necessaryHow do we talk?
+Via Skype or Zoom.Will there be room for informal conversation during our lesson?
+Yes. Informal conversation is important, since it reflects conversations you could have outside the lessons. Moreover, it is a way to get to know your learning style and interests. I will motivate you to expand your vocabulary and grammar, by also adding more structured speaking exercises to our lessons.How do you tailor the lessons to my needs?
+By listening to how you like to learn, what your learning history is and what your interests are. I will quickly get an image of your level during a first lesson and always share my thoughts and ideas with you. I believe you as a student are the owner of your learning process, The Dutch Online Academy should motivate and guide you, giving you the right tools to get where you want to be.I would like to work with a book. Is that possible?
+Yes, during our first lesson we can discuss which book you would like to use. I can also give you advice if you do not know which books are suitable for you.I would like to prepare for an exam. Is that possible?
+Yes. I have experience preparing students for het inburgeringsexamen and het staatsexamen NT2.
