What our students say

Prima! Definitely, it is the best Dutch course in Eindhoven. For me, only this one works. Finished A1 Step 1 and I am going to continue with next Step 2. Highly recommended!

Misha (Ukraine), TU/e

Very dynamic classes, with a lot of interaction between colleagues and teacher, and with diverse materials (digital and print formats). I really enjoyed it and I totally recommend it!

Ana (Switzerland), Philips

I completed course A1 Step 1. I found the class to be beneficial and helpful in the improvement of the Dutch language. The classes were engaging, entertaining, and had an interesting yet effective system for the Huiswerk (homework), using a mix of online sources and the textbook. I found having two lecturers to be an additional benefit as well.
