About the beginners class
|
GROUP CLASSES: A1 + A2
This course will take you from total beginner to A2 level in 9 weeks. I conduct these classes in a small group (4-6 people), so that there is lots of time for speaking and direct feedback from me as a teacher, which results in good progress in a short amount of time. Writing tasks will be part of the homework, while the lessons itself focus on speaking, listening, building correct sentences with grammar explanation and practice of real life situations (role play). You will get personal feedback on each writing task by email. This is an intensive course, which covers one chapter each lesson and requires commitment from the student to do homework and prepare for each lesson, in order to get the full benefit of this course. The group size is small (4-6 students) which makes the lessons very effective. Classes are held on Saturdays (double lessons) for the live sessions and on Saturday + Tuesday evenings for the online sessions. Each lesson is 1.5 hours and you get 18 lessons in total. Find reviews about my courses via the social media buttons below or here. Each course covers levels A1 + A2. The price is €550, this is the total cost for the full course. Students will also be responsible for purchasing the course workbook, available here. Starting dates: January 2022: online lessons (FULL) March 2022: online lessons July 2022: live lessons in Den Bosch **This course is available for a small number of students only in order obtain good progress in a short amount of time.

Meet Your Instructor
Linda Lucia van Kasteren - certified teacher of Dutch as a second language
Linda Lucia van Kasteren
With over 12 years of experience teaching Dutch as a second language to people from many different backgrounds, teaching all levels of the Dutch language, you are in good hands!
I am a native speaker and have trained as a secondary school teacher and later specifically as a teacher for Dutch as a second language. While already working as a teacher, I got my official certification for teacher of Dutch as a second language in 2010.
I was teaching for several government organisations for some time, when in 2011 I decided it was time to found Linda Lucia Taaltrainingen. Since then I have enjoyed being able to apply my own method, teaching students directly, either one-on-one or in small groups.
Time flies when you are having fun, because in 2021 we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Linda Lucia Taaltrainingen, 10 years of many students and many experiences that have made me the teacher and person I am now.

Having my own company allowed me to focus on what was most important to me: a personal approach, small groups and high quality lessons.
I am familiar with the challenges of learning a new language as an adult. I have gone through this myself, when I was learning Spanish.
As a teacher, this gave me even more insight in what students go through. Gaining the confidence to speak can be challenging. Thanks to my own experience, I will be able to guide you through this process.
As an examinor of the official state exams, I can also help you with preparing for those.
Whatever your goal is, I am here to help!

GROUP CLASSES: B1 LEVEL
|
NEW STARTING DATES: January 8th 2022 (Saturdays), March 14th (Mondays)
The level B1 course is a great follow-up after you have finished the beginners course. In this course you will go from beginner to intermediate level, where you will be able to use Dutch in many situations. It is a less intensive course of once a week, 18 weeks long. I really recommend this course as this is the level where you will start to feel more confident using the Dutch language. Your Dutch will improve by focusing on speaking during our classes and by making homework that covers other skills like reading and writing. New grammar will be explained in a practical way and used with exercises immediately. B1 also requires new vocabulary that we will offer from a text book and discussions in the lessons. This is the opportunity to build on what you have already learned and increase your level of the Dutch language, expand your vocabulary and gain confidence. Price: €550 Course book: In zicht, available here: Boom NT2 - In zicht |
