For me, language and culture belong together. In my courses, I’ll try to bring these aspects together and I’ll do this by using authentic and playful activities wherever that’s possible. I’m looking forward to help people who are in the same situation as I was before, new to a language!

I understand languages as systems of communication, and that is reflected in the way I plan and organize my classes.

My Dutch is fluent and I therefore know how it is to learn a foreign language. I now work as a French language trainer, keen on teaching how you can enhance your impact in French, especially in a business context. Students describe me as an enthusiastic coach, that provides “more” than (business) French lessons. I am fascinated by the African continent, I often travel there and follow its geopolitics closely. À très bientôt!

During my classes we’ll deal with daily conversation topics – such as talking about our free time, ordering something at the bar or booking a room – that we’ll perform and simulate acting like real.  I can also provide material on our funny dialectal forms, different from region to region. I´d be glad to support you in this learning challenge. Hope to hear back from you soon!

Steven

Trainer Dutch & Japanese

Hello there. My name is Steven and I’m what you might call a “lingthusiast” (very enthusiastic about languages). I love learning them myself, and greatly enjoy sharing this enthusiasm with others as one of Flowently’s in-company trainers and private tutors. Having spent several years abroad, I know how valuable -and challenging- it can be to understand the local language. Dutch is certainly a challenge, so I will do my best to make it a fun one.

Franka

Trainer Dutch

My name is Franka, besides finishing my MA in philosophy I work as a tutor for Flowently. In my late teens and early twenties I moved to Norway and then to Sweden to start my bachelor there –in Swedish. So I know a thing or two about the challenges of being thrown into a new culture and language. But I also know that if one gets over the initial fear of sticking out and approaches the unknown with curiosity and playfulness, an enriching new world can open itself. Nowadays Norwegian, Swedish and Spanish are all languages I have strong emotional connections with. I like to encourage my students to forge a personal bond with the new language, so they can reach a point where it transforms from a mere vehicle for communication into an exciting new home.

Trainer Dutch

Hi! My name is Coert and I am an experienced trainer in Dutch as a first and second language. When an individual moves to another country, that person experiences a wide variety of changes: learning the language of the ‘new’ country certainly is a great help in coping with these changes. In my experience, coming to grips with the language helps to understand the quirks and challenges of the ‘new’ country. And the Netherlands has many of those to offer! I always challenge my students, to leave their ‘bubble’ of international business or international students and meet ‘real Dutchmen’. I am looking forward to take you on your journey of discovering the Netherlands and the Dutch.
