Workplace Dutch focus. 784 lessons. Useful for meetings, email tone, and confidence at work.

I’m really enjoying learning Dutch with Shiva! She’s patient, friendly, and makes every lesson fun and engaging. She always prepares a lot of interesting topics to talk about, which really helps me practice speaking naturally. She also pays attention to my mistakes and helps me improve step by step. Thanks to her, I feel much more confident speaking Dutch. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
Na een paar lessen met Shiva voel ik me al zelfverzekerder als ik Nederlands spreek. De lessen zijn erg leuk en goed georganiseerd. Ze heeft veel onderwerpen om over te discussiëren, en ze geeft goede feedback na de les. Ik zou haar lessen zeker aanraden!
Conversational class with Shiva is great! She has lots of interesting topics and has really helped me feel more confident as I am learning.
Shiva is a very engaging, funny and motivating teacher - I love the fact that I learn so many words in a very natural, organic way. She has a great list of topics, vocab and questions to go through at the lessons and that helps me so much to expand my vocabulary without necessarily sitting down for one hour and learning so many new words at once. We've had only a couple of lessons so far and I already notice a big shift in my confidence, vocabulary and fluency!
Ik ben heel tevreden met de lessen. Shiva is vriendelijk, geduldig en legt alles duidelijk uit. Ik krijg nuttige feedback, waardoor ik meer vertrouwen krijg in het spreken van Nederlands. Zeker aan te raden!
Shiva is een geweldige docent voor wat gevorderde studenten die het druk hebben, maar toch serieus Nederlands willen leren. Ze heeft mij aanzienlijk geholpen om mijn taalvaardigheid te verbeteren. Het 30-minutenlesformat werkt goed, omdat je geconcentreerd kunt blijven en niet moe of verveeld raakt. Qua de lesstructuur, je maakt doelmatig gebruik van de lestijd, want de les wordt volledig gewijd aan spreken. Je krijgt de correcties pas na de les wat, volgens mij, dé tijd is om moeilijke zinnen of uitdrukkingen te herhalen. Op die manier wordt de vloeiendheid van het gesprek niet onderbroken. Kortom: Nederlands leren met Shiva is een echte aanrader!
