6. Here are two reviews of our students:
"The lessons were really nice. I really liked the way of teaching. However, the course is quite intensive and demands a lot of time for homework".
"Teachers are very qualified and focused on make you learn as fast as possible. The lessons are well structured and the website is full of examples to continue improving. I particularly enjoyed the recipes. It was like cooking with Dutch language. I have already joined A2. One suggestion: because it is a very intensive course, join only if you have high motivation."

You just need to read it and follow it. We will also give you a short explanation about our website during the first lesson. You can always ask your fellow students to help you when you get stuck. If you can not find your way on our website by yourself, or you have a custom request, you can always book a personal support appointment with us (it is not free!). We will be glad to help you with your inquiry.
