Why is learning Dutch through dialogue efficient where other methods fail ?

Remember the way you learned your mother tongue. Your mom, dad, brothers or sisters never thought you grammar and vocabulary to teach you your mother-tongue, did they? You don't need to learn Dutch grammar rules, nor vocabulary when learning Dutch as foreign language neither.

Fully tailored individually designed and full immersion Dutch courses make integrating Dutch easy in the same way.

Ongoing dialogue on topics you like and are important to you  -  your kids, hobbies, job and other interests -  has full personal immersion and personal commitment as an result. You don't need to learn Dutch. Instead you're interested in ongoing communication. Almost unconscious integration of living Dutch structures is what's happening.

Talking and communicating about topics that are of real importance to you avoids artificial school like "teaching".

You'll learn Dutch nearly without noticing.

Because everyone is unique, so are you and so is your way of learning. That’s why efficient Dutch courses need to be individual, need native speakers and need to be as tailored as possible.

You're only really involved in learning Dutch when the language training method corresponds to your individual needs and personal expectations.

As Socrates put it, progress is quick and spectacular when there is a direct dialogue between your teacher and you :

·         * your gifts, talents, aptitudes and unconscious passive knowledge are most important,

·         * self-confidence is established in the first lessons,

·         * no time is wasted on things that do not interest you,

·         *pleasure and motivation are part of the game.

The dialogue method is ongoing continuous learning by doing. Your teacher is not only a teacher, he's a partner and coach as well. Thanks to his or her experience he grasps what you need and adapts program to it.

There's no textbooks. This is not school. These Dutch courses are designed with you for you. At the end of your one or two weeks full immersion Dutch language training you take with you your own made to measure "manual".

Whatever your aim, you'll improve in the same time pronunciation, comprehension, vocabulary and knowledge of living Dutch sentence structures.

Why are native Dutch speakers the better Dutch teachers ?  

Only native Dutch speakers have learned Dutch in a natural way. They won't fall in the baretrap to make you believe that because you're working hard studying grammar and vocabulary you make a lot of progress. Of course as everyone you're inclined to believe that more effort results in ... more results. Fortunately this isn't true.

Remember that's not the way you learned your mother-tongue. You learned it not because you wanted to learn a language but because you wanted to communicate and relate to people.

Native speakers won't focus on grammar, they do on communication. They understand you if hat you say is understandable.

What you hear during this kind of Dutch courses is a living non scholar language used in a most natural way talking about topics your interested in. So you integrate the language structures without studying grammar rules, without even being aware of them. In the same way you assimilate vocabulary, in the same way you developed your knowledge of your own language.

Every human has an inborn ability to learn language and to recognize structures.

Natural learning, grasping, is in fact grasping structures. You'll feel that your sentences sound ok in Dutch or don't.

This you can only learn from native Dutch speakers.

How is this individual Dutch language course going to fit to what I need ?

You decide for yourself:

·         *the day your Dutch language program starts,

·         *your number of lessons a day,

·         *your number of days or weeks,

·        * your objectives,

·         *the material relevant to your needs you want to include.

Learning Dutch, living Dutch, Through ongoing dialogue will save you a lot of time. Whether you're novice to Dutch or almost bilingual.

Even if you're completely new to Dutch, within two weeks you'll be able to communicate and dialogue in living natural Dutch.

Individual made to measure tailored Dutch language training, ongoing talk with native speakers allows you to progress at your own pace. You only develop the vocabulary you need. If you like  you can bring in own material. This material will be worked through in the same natural way.

From any point of view individual personal lessons are faster than any group teaching.

Native speakers are the only ones with natural knowledge of the social grammar of real live communication situations.

Do I need to be motivated ?

Of course even our method won't work if you're not.

Even efficient individual made to measure full immersion Dutch courses with native speakers need some "discipline" from your side. But there's no stress.

The most important thing you can do is you to cut off any communication in any other language for the time of your training (no phone, no  CNN, no BBC nor other English TV programs).

"rehearsal" is limited to listen and repeat  a series of key-sentences your teacher distilled from the dialogues. Do this preferably before you go to sleep. This may even make you starting to dream in Dutch.

There's plenty of practice (teachers are having, breakfast, dinner and supper with you), results are immediate and lasting. This unique availability in natural situations helps you to avoid translating. Instead allows you to think in Dutch. Thinking Dutch becomes as natural, easy and pleasant to you as your own mother-tongue. You won't lose what you gained.

That's not that difficult is it ?
