Artist, student of Dutch

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 and writing. I didn’t feel stuck or impatient (as I did in other courses/learning methods). I especially enjoyed my conversations with Maylu. They were effortless and I immediately felt myself open and encouraged to talk. She makes the time pass pleasantly, she is very inspirational and kind and you don’t realize you have been talking for so long in another language! She is also always open to adapt and tailor the material and the conversation to your needs. It helped me a lot that the focus of the lesson was on speaking and that led to my fast improvement. In three months I could comprehend complex texts, express views and opinions and also write different sorts of texts. The lessons are structured around you and your interests/goals, which makes it easier to learn and remember things, as opposed to standard learning books and traditional methods of teaching. I would definitely say that it would be impossible to reach that level so soon with a traditional method!
