Award Winning Dutch Lessons       October 2011

News

Yes, the “webshop” is up and running!! The lay-out will be changed in future, but you can order language learning materials and Holland merchandise (more items will be for sale every week).  Right now, there is a beautiful painting of a cow (in Dutch rain ;-), a booklet with columns about French (in Dutch), and a German booklet with the ins and outs of Amsterdam.

 

Last month, I’ve not only been busy launching the web shop, but there were many fun teaching projects as well. Two of them involved my horse Morpheus: he was helping a young girl who was anxious about language tests in school, and a private immersion student asked for a riding lesson in Dutch. Morph was a great help!

 

 

Plus: I made a new, free online exercise (hear a question spoken in Dutch, which you’ll have to answer). And in case you hadn’t come around to it, you can still find out your level of Dutch. New exercises will be added regularly.

 

So, it has been a busy month. Next month will be filled with great trainings as well. You can sign up for one of the immersion courses, or if you just wish to use your Dutch, you can join a kirigami-card-making-workshop or come and learn to draw (better) (see attachments and schedule).

 

I’d like to end with a Dutch blooper:

Thinking "Doorgaand Verkeer" and "Andere Richtingen" were nice places to visit....I saw sign posts for them everywhere...”

What is your funniest blooper?

 

Tot ziens!

P.S. It is still possible to join the groups for newcomers and Language Exchange Learners on Facebook and LinkedIn. If you are interested, contact me or look me up on Facebook.
