* Learning Dutch – the idea

* We focus on speaking, as both the means and the end of our initial teaching. Only by speaking you can learn to speak, and gain the confidence you can communicate in a language.
* Pleasure is an effect of good education, but it’s a condition too. You memorize nice things and you learn when you feel good!
* Vocabulary and grammar, the bricks and mortar of language, get presented in a playful way – they can be fun too. Clear rules, explanations and (online) drills give you something to hold on to.

*  All means – books, papers, songs, films – are use to catch your attention. We bring the Dutch alive with papers, programs, songs, stories, plays and games. Learn faster in flexible situations, make your personal “method mix”, and find your way along!

* Learning Dutch – the teaching cycle
This is how we work in our courses:

Welcome chat → homework → vocabulary → book dialogue→ 
grammar→ practice →
speech bits → roleplays → conversation/interaction→ feedback→ 
reading→ listening→ speaking→ writing→
homework→  e-learning tools→

* Blended learning

* Everything mentioned above comes together in Waterval! (“waterfall”*): books and a web site containing audio and exercises with meaningful feedback. Have a look at the general training website – or at Quizlet, the special vocabulary site.

* The Dutch say: “Hij/Zij is een spraakwaterval“, he or she is a waterfall of speech. That’s what we aim at: to make a fluent speaker of you. You’ll experience a “waterfall of Dutch” at Waterval, a shower of Dutch. Together, we’ll find the mix that suits you best!
