Welkom bij Waterval! Learn Dutch in Maastricht, the language school for Dutch. It doesn’t matter where you are: you can come to the classroom, or communicate online. Talking with adequate feedback and lots of Dutch culture are our unique selling points. So why not try Dutch classes here? Experience, enthusiasm, and empathy guaranteed!
experienced (30 years) yet patient Dutch teacher with thorough books and all kinds of online material (here and here and here) promises you interactive and empowering Dutch classes, that energize you wherever you are!
Fees?
You can have a look at the fees page, but the general idea is this:
– group courses: 10€ per person per hour, 220€ for a 22hr course
(but 12,50/hr for summer courses)
– private courses: 50€ per person per hour (35€ for students).
– books (Waterval 1/6, from 0-A1 tot B2-C1): 35€ apiece.
– online access (drills and listening here, vocabulary and speaking here) 10€.
Teaching philosophy?
Everybody’s welcome! Whether kid or adult, migrant or refugee: please come over and have a look. Yet, the school appears to attract mostly “expats”, internationals. At Waterval!, expect to work in small groups with people who are genuinely interested in Dutch, and in their fellow students. Interaction guaranteed!
Waterval! is a kind of a language lab. How can you improve teaching (Dutch)? With lots of trial and error, I developed six books, full of clear explanation of grammar, lots of vocabulary exercise on paper and online, and plenty of incentives to make you speak and drill speech bits. Waterval I-VI covers the whole gamut, from level 0 (scratch) to C levels.
