Customer reviews

Thank you for all the teachers that we met during our class. Thank you for the patience and knowledge that you have given us. I know it's hard to have a class online in the meantime, but things will get better soon. I hope the teachers and other staff will continue to be safe in our situation now. Good luck in the coming years!

All is well Super limited time able to learn the basics interacted with 3 teachers Everything is a new experience from room class to online sessions studying

Debbie Ann Espiritu

Good to learn very basic words and sentences. I did not consider it to be related enough with the au pair.

Priscilla

Was so helpful, learned alot. And could ask questions if I don't understand,and they would help you right. I felt so comfortable.

meeting new friends and learning new language.

Dutch is very far from my first language (Portuguese), so at some point of the course I knew I wouldn't be able to speak fluently when this was over. However. the teacher made the experience very enjoyable and fun. I am able now to pick up on some phrases with my host family and even say short phrases too. I am really satisfied.

The class was a good overview, but I would need additional classes to actually understand the language. The book randomly stopped explaining things in English, which was not very helpful. Some of the conjucations didn't have rules either, which I still find confusing. My instructor was very kind, and the class would probably have been more effective if it was more than just once a week. I think I almost know the basics, but would definitely need more practice.
