Some essential characteristics of Dutch you need to
grasp if you want to learn Dutch in 1 week
Learning Dutch : Here are some differences with English
your intensive private immersion Dutch course needs to focus on:
Dutch pronunciation
: The Dutch 'u' vowel doesn't exist in English. Since you want
to learn Dutch in 1 week it's necessary to focus on that. Taking time training
your ears, some exercising and a bit of self-discipline. To learn
Dutch in 1 week it's also necessary to get the difference
between short and long vowels but without diphthongizing. Long vowels rhythm words and sentences in Dutch. That's uncommon in
English. But Dutch pronunciation is more phonetic and spelling more regular:
while starting to read Dutch texts on topics you like, with Richard's help, you'll
quickly grasp those regularities.
Dutch word order : That piece of non
conjugated verb at the end of Dutch sentences is a bit strange, isn't it? It's
usual in Dutch and German. Talking in Dutch about those topics you're really
interested in, you'll learn Dutch
sentence structure quickly. Simple subordinate clauses are quite often used
in spoken Dutch.
One idea, one sentence that's necessary to be easily understood. That's
the same as in English.
Essential Dutch grammar : Focusing on studying grammar
and exercising may be a usual way for teachers to get along with a class.
Maybe you already learned some Dutch that way in your home country. It's
useful : it helps reading and understanding a Dutch text at your pace when
you've got all the time you need. But it doesn't allow you to follow a
conversation. What you miss is familiarity with spoken Dutch and native
speaker's variations in pace, rhythm, pronunciation and accent. Richard
hands you the Dutch
grammar you need the moment you need it during daily live Dutch
conversations. The presence at diner of other native speakers
familiarizes with these real live differences in spoken Dutch. That's the
way you learned your mother tongue and that natural immersion is the easiest
and fastest way to learn Dutch in 1 week. Dutch or any other language you
may want to learn later.
Full immersion Dutch courses are the
most efficient way for higher educated
English-speakers to learn Dutch in 1 week. Learning Dutch that way you're progressing up to 2 levels of
proficiency according to the
European Proficiency
Scale in a only 5, 7 or 9 days of client (=you!) centered intensive
immersion Dutch course. Yes,
it is possible to learn Dutch in 1 week! That's
what our intensive private Dutch courses claim and
former students witness since years.
Learning Dutch
in 1 single week? Yes, you can!
All you need is a one to one full immersion Dutch course with an experienced
dedicated multilingual native Dutch teacher.
From the start Richard only speaks Dutch with you.
But don't worry that's necessary to get your brain to switch to creative
dissatisfaction mode. As you are an higher educated you know by experience
that giving in to creative dissatisfaction mode your brain (you) without
voluntary interfering (that's contra-productive!) starts discovering
links to context, relationships, structures, differences, ... and starts
understanding. And since you're interchanging on what you are
interested in, on topics you know, you learn as much Dutch in 1 week as
during a full year of weekly Dutch classes or group teaching! As a result
you may progress up to 2 levels of proficiency in Dutch on the
European
Proficiency Scale in 5, 7 or 9 days. This way of learning Dutch relies
on innate natural learning processes and sensorimotor coordination. That's
what explains why you're able to learn Dutch in 1 week.

immersion Dutch course with Richard

from any contact with any other language but Dutch. You're learning to speak and
think in Dutch about what you're interested in. As a result you may even start
dreaming in Dutch. But most important you learn to speak Dutch without that
time-consuming detour of translation causing you to be only halfway, when your

to 4 hours a day!) speaking Dutch with your dedicated Dutch teacher or diner
partners from local social and cultural life.
In a made to measure immersion Dutch course you're not only
learning Dutch language, you're learning Dutch ways of
live, attitudes, ways of thinking and feeling, from inside, through
relaxed conversation about people and society in Flanders and the
Netherlands, about our habits, values, topics, our concerns and the ways we
are.
During such an intensive private full immersion Dutch course, you, your boss,
colleague, friend or partner not only learn Dutch in 1 week.

more personally with the local Dutch speaking colleagues, friends and
neighbors, your partner and his or her family.
