"In 2020 I was fortunate to receive my Dutch citizenship. Having extended family in the Netherlands it has been a dream of mine to learn the language. As an adult this can be challenging. I was trying some of the self guided apps, although helpful, I was not learning about the structure of the language and how to converse in real time. So I decided to try the online class through the Dutch School. Laura was fantastic to work with in getting me setup and my teacher Judith has been very helpful. I look forward to my online weekly classes, it keeps me motivated, I am experiencing progress, and I am having fun. Also a side benefit that I have discovered is that the exercise of learning a language has help me stay sharp mentally. If you are an adult serious about learning Dutch, nothing beats class room learning. The Dutch School Online is a great way to go. Invest in yourself, you won’t regret it."

"I am beyond happy with how far my Dutch has come. From knowing absolutely nothing, to now being able to talk about my family, my life, and food; is such a great feeling. I know I still have a lot to learn, but the little I know right now, is such a confidence boost. During our last class, when we I was being asked questions about my daily life, it made me feel proud that I was able to answer and understand the questions being asked! My teacher Rosanne is always being so patient and understanding. It has definitely made paying for the classes worthwhile."

"I have been taking Dutch language classes through the Dutch School for over two years now and have been extremely happy with my courses, teacher, fellow students, and books used for the classes. The classes are are structured to enhance all areas of learning the Dutch language - reading, writing, listening, and speaking - in a fun, comfortable, and relaxing manner. I look forward to continuing my studies with the Dutch School. "
