About Debby R.
Hoi everyone! I'm Debby and I'm born and raised in the Netherlands. I live near the border of Germany so my German is also pretty good. From ‘05 till ‘06 I lived a year in Ireland as an au pair, it was wonderful and also excellent for my English. I love meeting new people, traveling, reading books, practicing yoga, painting and trying out new things. I would love to teach you Dutch! I’ve been teaching Dutch online for more than 5 years now. From kids to adults, mostly 1 on 1 lessons but also group lessons. I’m very happy that you want to learn “Nederlands”. Together we can work on a plan/schedule that works for you. I see the books that I use as guidelines for homework, and they give structure to your knowledge and build up. Besides that, I want you to talk a lot in the lessons so that you can improve your speaking. Games, music, videos, everything will help you improve the language. Together we will find out what works best for you. My calendar is always 3 weeks up to date so you can book a time slot that works for you :) Tot snel!!
