Teaching style
Hi! In my lessons, you'll talk... in Dutch, the fastest way to improve your language skills. You'll talk about the things you do and I'll help you express yourself and prepare you for Dutch conversations. I'll make a Google Docs document for you so you can write (for homework) and see the words we've talked about in the previous lessons. I only give grammar when necessary. Of course, I'm flexible so I adapt to your needs.

- french, english, german, spanish, maltese, portuguese, turkish, russian

Alain is een leraar van God. Hij legt alles duidelijk uit. Corrigeert fouten die de student tijdens een gesprek heeft gemaakt. Hij heeft een individuele houding ten opzichte van elke student. Geeft veel nuttige informatie en links van internet. Alle lessen zijn interessant en informatief. Ik ben hem dankbaar voor zijn hulp.

Dankjewel, Alain. Het was en heel goede Vlaamse lessen. Alain was very organized, patient, and friendly. We spent the entire lesson in the target language except for a couple of minutes at the beginning and the end. Alain gave me the opportunity to answer and ask questions. He corrected my pronunciation and word order and provided adjustments as needed so that by the end of the lesson I felt as though I had a decent grasp of the sentences and structures that we covered conversationally. I look forward to having another lesson with him!
