Dr. in Biomedical NMR spectroscopy, student of Dutch
What do you think about the F.A.S.T. method? I liked the FAST method for being flexible and adjustable to my needs. I could emphasise in the areas that were most important to me, like listening and speaking without undermining writing and understa...

I started learning Dutch with the F.A.S.T method offered by Language and Motivation (level A2-B1). I found this method extremely effective and combined with my discipline and commitment regarding the way I had to study, I achieved maximum results....

I really enjoyed my Dutch lessons with Maylu! I felt motivated to study in between my lessons and the material was in most cases interesting and captivating. I also learned to express myself in ways that don’t feel alien to my natural way of speaking...

Through my personal experience, I found the teaching methodology followed by Language and Motivation to be pragmatic and effective; better than the traditional way of learning. Before starting with Language and Motivation I was already at A1 level in...

I took Dutch lessons with the F.A.S.T method from Mahdy and it's been nothing but a great experience. It's a really quick and effective method, it allows you to learn the language in a way that you customize so you learn what you usually use in your ...

Language and Motivation is a unique language school. With one-on-one lessons and supportive teachers, this was the best learning experience I could have asked for. I followed their Dutch course and my teacher Annetta was never once impatient or disco...

Peter D.
Postdoctoral researcher, student of Dutch
I did the 1-on-1 3-month course from A0 to B1 with Mahdy. Indeed it boosted my Dutch language level very fast. I really like the way it was taught as it goes directly to adult’s material so that you learn the language by directly applying the languag...

I always had a really tough time with new languages. With "Language and motivation" things didn't miraculously change but I felt motivated, which wasn't the case with my previous experiences. And slowly I built my dutch language skills to pretty much...

Márcia G.
Historian, student of Dutch
I first came across Language & Motivation website while looking for a teacher for private Dutch lessons. I thought reaching B1 in three months was not possible, except in courses with classes every day, so I kept looking. But I was so intrigued t...

After 12 lessons I started talking the language. I could never believe that could happen. Mahdy is a great teacher, with passion for his work. I highly recommend this method!
Had a wonderful experience taking Dutch classes. Romina was a great teacher and helped me to ease into speaking Dutch with confidence. Best wishes for the institute and future students.

Different effective method to learn another language. I have done b1 deutsch level and the course has helped me get my listening and speaking better and learn words not by memorizing them from a list but by practicing speaking reading and listening in a more interactive way.
My teacher Stavroula helped with the right directions and ensured i would practice and come to the lessons ready to discuss different topics in German. Thank you as this has not only helped me pass my B1 but simply be able to have a better understanding when someone speaks to me in german and be able to have small conversations more confidently

Ik heb privélessen Nederlands gevolgd bij "Language and Motivation" met de FAST-methode bij mevrouw Romina, en binnen 3 maanden (om precies te zijn 12 lessen) had ik niveau B1 afgerond.! Dat vond ik geweldig! Zeker omdat ik maar 1,5 uur per week les had. Op de lokale taalschool hebben ze met de oude methode 1,5 maand nodig voor slechts een kwart van het B1-niveau (omgerekend dus precies twee keer zoveel tijd met 16 uur per week)! Het belangrijkste was echter dat mijn mentaliteit veranderde: ik kreeg zelfvertrouwen, begon mee te doen met groepen en was niet meer bang om te praten!

I recently completed a 3-month online German course with Language and Motivation, where each lesson lasted 90 minutes. It was a very positive experience. My teacher, Stavroula, was supportive and played an important role in helping me improve my language skills. The content was engaging and kept me motivated throughout the course. I especially enjoyed the balance between guided learning and independent work. Having the opportunity to prepare and present my own work in the lessons made the learning process more active and rewarding. This course with Language and Motivation has helped me build more confidence in my German, and I would definitely recommend it to others who want to improve their skills in an interactive and supportive environment.

Quality and refreshing style of learning, also very effective. However, it definitely needs true commitment from the student’s side and som self discipline. Then it works like a charm 🙂 I also had an amazing teacher (Annetta) and never felt too stressed or tired to have our class after work unlike with some other courses in the past. And last but not least, the school also offers feedback sessions to truly style the classes to your needs and best outcomes. Highly recommended!
