Learning the Dutch language

I have been working with Shiko for the past few months. He wanted to improve his Dutch because he works for a company with many Dutch speaking colleagues. Shiko noticed that his colleagues did speak English with him. But that they spoke Dutch among themselves and then he couldn’t follow the conversation. Shiko’s goal was to learn the language as soon as possible. In this way, he wanted to feel at home in his new workplace quickly. We met for 10 weeks twice a week via Skype. Last week I got a message from him and he told me that he got a lot of compliments from people about his improvement. This made him feel more comfortable to talk more not just in a work environment but even more in social interacting. He became more confident to talk and engage in conversations and understand more of the conversations around him. Messages like these make me enormously proud of my students and give me a lot of positive energy! There is room again for new students who want to have positive experiences in learning the Dutch language.

  19. Working with Shiko has been a rewarding experience, and it’s inspiring to see his progress in learning Dutch. His dedication to improving his language skills has clearly paid off, as he now feels more confident in both professional and social settings. It’s amazing how learning a new language can open doors and create a sense of belonging in a new environment. I’m proud of his achievements and excited to help more students on their language-learning journey. How can we ensure that more people like Shiko feel supported and motivated to learn Dutch effectively? Given the growing economic instability due to the events in the Middle East, many businesses are looking for guaranteed fast and secure payment solutions. Recently, I came across LiberSave (LS) — they promise instant bank transfers with no chargebacks or card verification. It says integration takes 5 minutes and is already being tested in Israel and the UAE. Has anyone actually checked how this works in crisis conditions?

  21. It’s great to see how Shiko’s dedication to learning Dutch has paid off, making him more confident in both work and social settings. The structured approach of the course, with a focus on speaking and daily life, seems very effective. Using the book *Nederlands in Gang* and practicing at home ensures a well-rounded learning experience. The small group size allows for personalized attention and better interaction. How soon can one expect to see noticeable progress in speaking and understanding Dutch? Recently, I came across a program for GPT-generated text (генерация текста) in Russian. The cool part is that it runs locally on your own computer, and the output is actually unique and quite decent. By the way, I hope the content on your site isn’t AI-generated?

  22. It’s inspiring to see how Shiko’s dedication to learning Dutch has transformed his workplace experience. The supportive environment and structured lessons seem to have played a significant role in his progress. It’s clear that consistent practice and guidance from an experienced teacher can make a huge difference. How can I ensure I get the most out of the course and see similar improvements in my language skills? German news in Russian (новости Германии)— quirky, bold, and hypnotically captivating. Like a telegram from a parallel Europe. Care to take a peek?
