Samuel
Trainer Dutch
Hello! I am a language and culture enthusiast and I love helping others to find their way in a foreign tongue. I grew up in Spain and learnt Dutch at an early age. Thanks to that experience, I can recognize well where the difficulties are that new speakers face when learning this language. I am convinced that no language can be learnt as an empty and formal structure. Instead, I want to help you to get familiar with Dutch as an open language in which your ideas and experiences can find their expression. While talking about topics that interest you, I would like to guide you until you master the conversation on your own.

As I am currently in Argentina learning Spanish myself, I know from experience that learning a language can be challenging and doesn’t happen overnight. But I am here to help and excited to teach Flowently students not only the basic grammar and vocab but also the inside tricks and expressions from the Dutch language that you don’t always find in a regular textbook.’

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.
