Our Dutch speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These lessons in Dutch are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Dutch to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the lesson can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Dutch history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Dutch, this is the choice for you.
Dutch lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Dutch to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Dutch, as well as survival Dutch should a short stay in the country be needed.
Those wishing to learn Dutch in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Dutch Lessons or Small Group In-Company Dutch Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Dutch proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Dutch Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.
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
Almost everybody in the Netherlands speaks Dutch, and it is also an official language of Belgium, Suriname, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba
Simple written Dutch might be partly recognizable to an English speaker; though there are many pronunciation differences

Garland
A suburb of Dallas, Garland is a growing metropolis of over 200,000 people, making it the 86th most populated city in the United States. Close proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth area makes Garland a prime location for top businesses who need access to big city but want to get more office space for their dollar. Recent years have seen a number of public works projects and renovations get underway all of which promise to transform the downtown area into a modern urban presence, while still respecting the historic nature of the state of Texas. Like many of Texas' largest communities, there is a considerable Hispanic presence in Garland, meaning that speaking Spanish can be an invaluable resource for residents. There are also a growing number of Asian countries represented in the citizenry of Garland, including Laotian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese and thus, these are languages which could be quite beneficial as well.
