Hi, Mi name is Paul. I'm a certified (TEFL, ELE) teacher with over 10 years of experience in language teaching. I am actually teaching business clients and individuals.
I always try to keep the classes informal and relaxed. It's important that the students like the class, and that they feel comfortable. That results in progress, and that's exactly what we want.
The focus is on conversation (so pronunciation!) and understanding but also reading and writing are important to improve active vocabulary.
Now grammar is also important to understand the structure of a language, but I only touch grammar when needed, so that depends a lot on the level (from A1 to C2).
For lower-level students who still need some native language in class, I speak fluently Spanish, Dutch and some German and French.
The first class is free of charge, so just try it! I'm sure you'll like it.

Hi! I am Maaike, a Dutch primary school teacher. Every day I'm doing by best to teach the Dutch language well to the childeren, but also other languages ​​such as English and Spanish.
I have more than 12 years of experience as a teacher, in the Netherlands and abroad, to young and old!
In the Netherlands I have experience in each grade, so I know exactly how the Dutch language is given in primary education. This can certainly help children, but also adults who want to learn the Dutch language in a correct way, having a good basic knowledge is the most important part of learning a new language.
I lived in Spain for 3 years where I taught English to Spanish children and adults. During that period I also followed an intensive language course to learn the Spanish language. Currently I am learning Nepali through Skype. I know what it is like to learn a new language, what it involves and how the learning process works.
I will first discuss with you what you would like to achieve by following the language lessons and what your needs are. Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :)
My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal!
Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :)

Hello, how nice that you looked up my profile and considered taking classes with me. My name is Wim de Vos, and after an active and long career in education, I retired early in August 2023.
Teaching has always fascinated me and always made me happy. I started my career abroad (Canada), where I also picked up my accent in terms of my English. Below you can see (part of) my CV.
08-1983 - 07-1990: Teacher Elementary School and High School; Alberta, Canada
08-1990 - 07-1995: Upper school teacher, Hendrik Ido Ambacht, the Netherlands
08-1995 - 07-1997: Vice-principal, primary school, Rotterdam
08-1997 - 08-2023: Successively: English and LO teacher; several posts in administration and board (and since 2013 again) English teacher at two schools for Secondary Education. Between 2013 and 2022, teacher supervisor, set up and ran Cambridge courses for staff.
08-2000 - 07-2010: English teacher trainer, Gouda
08-2019 - 08-2023: Trainer Cambridge courses, Gouda
Learning a language is above all DOING - interactive, creative, flexible and personal. Practice of speaking takes precedence over grammar, which mainly serves to provide just that bit of structure that is helpful from time to time.
To achieve the above, I mainly use actual situations, my own material, and - of course and above all - you with your input and questions.
I look forward to working with you!

Dutch conversation course.

Dutch conversation classes with a personal teacher

Our Dutch conversation classes are flexible and practical, ideal for students who already studied Dutch before on A1 or A2 level and need to become confident in speaking or writing.

Since most Belgians and Dutch will speak English with foreigners, it can be challenging to find somebody to practise with. We see that a lot of our students therefore lack the practise needed to really gain the confidence needed for daily work or private life. 

How do conversation classes work?

Language learning is not a straight journey from point A to point B. From A2 onwards, it could be that you have difficulties with topics of A1 while already knowing notions of B1 or even B2 topics. This is why we customize your learning path and we highly recommend private conversation classes for levels of B1 and up.

What if I am busy?

Our conversation classes have flexible schedules with a 48 hours cancellation notice. This means that with our private classes you can every week agree with your teacher when to meet. You just need to indicate your availability in our portal and your teacher can schedule classes in your slots.

Your Dutch classes are personalized!

In our online Dutch conversation classes, you have the flexibility to discuss any topic that interests you. From work-related discussions to conversations about Dutch culture, daily life, or current events, your classes will be tailored to your personal interests and goals. Although personalized, we do follow NT2 guidelines.

Are these Dutch conversation classes recommended for beginners?

For complete beginners or students who only studied with learning apps or books, we recommended to take a look at our structured group courses to first gain a solid basis in Dutch grammar and vocabulary. During our group courses you study Dutch with a small group of maximum 5 other students. Group courses take 3 till 6 months per language level, with 2 or 4 lesson hours per week.

If you have a busy and changing schedule, we do also offer A1 and A2 Dutch private conversation classes and you can invite yourself a partner or colleagues to split the course costs. The advantage is, that the class schedule stays flexible.

Why coLanguage?

We are the only platform who developed a portal and online learning materials for structured Dutch learning. 

  • Customized Topics: Choose conversation topics that matter most to you, choosing from a big library of scenarios and fun exercises.
  • Structured Learning: While topics are personalized, we follow the NT2 (Dutch as a second language) framework for solid, systematic language learning.
  • Personalized Materials: We provide customized learning materials to help you focus on areas where you need improvement. All learning materials are available with translations for offline usage, both in audio, website and PDF versions.

Choose Your Teacher: Netherlands or Belgium

If you have experienced living in an area with any of the 17 Dutch dialects, you know why it is important to have a teacher who can also explain you regional differences and accents.

  • Teachers from the Netherlands: Learn Dutch with a native speaker from the Netherlands and experience Dutch as spoken in the Netherlands or specific regions as Amsterdam, Limburg, Groningen or Zeeuws-Vlaanderen.
  • Teachers from Belgium: Alternatively, choose a teacher from Belgium and speak West-Flemish, learn with a teacher of Antwerp or Ghent or the soft accent of Limburg.

Dutch practise materials

We provide a variety of learning materials to support your progress. These resources help you develop all aspects of the language, including speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Our materials are accessible from anywhere, making learning easy and flexible.

  • Interactive Learning Materials: Each lesson includes personalized learning materials, tailored to your progress and learning goals.
  • Audio and Video: We offer audio and video content to help you develop listening skills and get used to the natural flow of Dutch.
  • Offline Availability: Our materials can be accessed offline, so you can continue learning even when you don’t have an internet connection.
  • Real-Life Application: The materials include practical exercises based on real-life situations to make sure you’re ready to use Dutch in everyday contexts.

Flexible Scheduling: Learn whenever and wherever you want

You can study Dutch at a time that works for you – whether that’s early mornings, during lunch breaks, or in the evening. 

  • Choose Your Time: Pick class times that work best for your personal or professional schedule.
  • Learn from Anywhere: No need to commute – take classes from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Learn at Your Own Pace: Adjust the frequency and intensity of your classes to fit your learning goals.

That sounds great, how can I start my Dutch classes?

Ready to start learning Dutch with our flexible, personalized classes? Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Indicate Your Availability: Let us know when you’re available to start your lessons and how often you’d like to study.
  2. Choose Your Study Intensity: Decide on the frequency of your lessons and the pace that works best for you – whether intensive or more relaxed.
  3. Meet Your Teacher: After we know your availability and study intensity, we will match you with a teacher from the Netherlands or Belgium. You’ll meet your teacher for an introductory session, and then you can start learning!

We are looking forward to welcome you in our school :)

Dutch lessons from (master) Michel are awesome! Every lesson offers something fun that makes my daughters look forward to the lesson every time. Games, videos, a chat about something current. It's almost more fun than face 2 face :) Michel knows exactly how to structure the lesson and from the first lesson the girls were already completely into it after a few months without Dutch lessons. After just a few lessons I can already see how much progress they are making! In short: we are very enthusiastic!

Anco was very helpful. I have been living in the Netherlands for years and am fluent, but always make mistakes with grammar. He corrected me in our conversations, and then I became aware of those mistakes. And, the atmosphere was always pleasant!
