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.
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.
Those who would benefit the most from these Dutch tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Dutch to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Dutch, as well as survival Dutch should a visit to the country be necessary.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Dutch, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Dutch lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Dutch Lessons or Small Group In-Company Dutch Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Dutch can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
Dutch is a language almost entirely reserved for its native speakers - most native Dutch people will be proficient in another language, usually English
Simple written Dutch might be partly recognizable to an English speaker; though there are many pronunciation differences
Afrikaans is not simply a Dutch dialect; it's a completely different language which evolved from Dutch

Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City rose to prominence and the attention of the world in 2002 with their successful Winter Olympic games. In the international spotlight, Salt Lake City shone and has been a popular destination for a culturally, ethnically and religiously diverse population ever since. With the arrival of the cultures of the world comes the potential to learn the languages of the world; thus Salt Lake City is a prime location for language learners. The capital city of Utah and the 'Crossroads of the West', Salt Lake City has many Latino, Tongan, Samoan, Somali, Sudanese, Afghani, Bosnian, and Russian residents - and this is just a mere slice of the ethnic diversity to be found in Salt Lake City. There's so much potential in this land of opportunity!
