Dutch 1 to 1 General

Dutch lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Dutch - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Dutch usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Dutch classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Dutch culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Dutch.

Dutch 1 to 1 Business

These Dutch lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Dutch to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Dutch, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

The Dutch lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Dutch Lesson or Small Group In-Company Dutch Lesson).

The booking must be made for all participants at the same time.

Dutch Facts

Dutch uses the Latin alphabet with a few extra characters; an easy way of spotting Dutch is the proliferation of double letters, for example the word 'voorraaddoos' ('supply box')

Simple written Dutch might be partly recognizable to an English speaker; though there are many pronunciation differences

Dutch is similar to German in many ways, but words do not change form so much, making it quite close to English in some respects

For Teachers

Detroit

Did you know that the name Detroit comes from the Detroit River? Not that there's anything particularly remarkable or inspired about that. But the name of the river in French is L'étroit du Lac Erie ("The strait of Lake Erie"), and D'étroit means "At the strait." Well there you go. Detroit has gone a long way as a centre for international diversity and language learning since its founding in 1701 by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, yet Francophone traces are still evident today. Forget a study abroad program in Brussels; Detroit has the largest Belgian concentration outside of Belgium! Detroit abounds in Italian, Greek, German, Polish, and Arabic ethnic communities due to the twentieth century burgeoning of the automobile industry. Detroit's linguistic diversity gives the language learner the best opportunity for mother tongue tuition and everyday exposure to their language of choice.
