“I really learned a lot in a short time”
I found it difficult to learn Dutch on my own and in my free time and found it difficult to practice with friends because I was too insecure about my language level to talk Dutch. Then I heard about the Intensive Dutch Programme and I was immediately enthusiastic about it. It is a very intensive week, so you have a lot of time to practice and you really get one-on-one training. As a result, I learned a lot in a short time and was able to really expand my basic skills.
“I now feel more comfortable having a conversation in Dutch”
I really learned a lot. Actually, the most important thing I learned was that I can have a conversation in Dutch. It may not always be totally correct and I may stumble over certain Dutch phrases or words, but I can express myself and my conversation partner can understand me. This allowed me to believe in myself, which also makes it easier now to practice speaking Dutch with friends.
“It is now so much easier to meet new people”
I'm now at a level where I can talk to friends and also have fun practicing, so I really speak a little Dutch almost every day. Almost every day I learn a new word and that is a really good feeling. It is also much easier to meet new people now because I don't have to ask to switch to English every time.
“Learning was really a fun experience”
What I liked about the course is that the teachers really looked at what I needed and for what purpose I wanted to learn Dutch. This made it not only more helpful but also more interesting. It also felt not only like a course but actually like a real natural conversation the whole time. That really made learning a fun experience.
“Everyone is so proud of me and happy for me”
To anyone who wants to improve their Dutch quickly, I would say: take an intensive course. You learn so much when you put in the time and energy. It is also a fun experience, not only the course, but also the result of the course. People are really happy when I speak Dutch to them, even if I still sometimes make mistakes. They are really happy when I try and also proud of how quickly I’m improving every day.
