Language courses

Have you always dreamed of being able to speak Swedish fluently? Do you perhaps work with Swedish businesses, travel frequently to Sweden for work or pleasure, or would simply like to engage with Swedish culture on a deeper level? This was also Mike Jetten's dream, a dream that came true at Radboud in'to Languages!

"My name is Mike Jetten and I wanted to learn Swedish. I started with free online materials, but it was thanks to the language courses of Radboud in’to Languages that I really started to make progress. I've taken several courses, from A1 to C1, and most recently the C1 conversation course.

What I appreciate most about Radboud in’to Languages courses is that they give me the opportunity to practice my Swedish actively. In everyday life, I mostly read and listen, but in the courses I get the chance to really use the language. Reading Swedish books and watching the news is great, but the courses are an excellent complement. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to speak with others and the fact that our classes were so varied, with the textbook, exercises, and extra materials.

Thanks to Radboud in’to Languages, I can now easily talk to Swedes at hotels, in shops, at conferences, and at work. The teachers are fantastic and dedicated, and they create an inspiring and fun learning environment.

As a member of the University Student Council (USR), Marie-Sophie Simon found it important to learn Dutch. Learning on her own without some external pressure didn’t work for her. That is why she opted for an intensive Dutch language course and allowed herself to be immersed for a week to learn Dutch quickly and with pleasure.

“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.
