When I moved from Greece to the Netherlands, I wanted to learn Dutch in order to integrate into society and get to know the lifestyle and culture. I also wanted to learn Dutch to have more job opportunities. After a few attempts with other language institutes, I finally looked for someone who speaks Greek so that he/she can explain everything in Greek. A friend recommended Learn2speak Dutch to me. I also knew Learn2speak Dutch and Effie Alexiadou through the internet and Facebook groups.

My friend was absolutely right! Effie was the perfect choice for me. Together we have reached the most difficult levels. She helped me with a simple and methodical way to learn Dutch quickly with private and group lessons. She uses practical and very useful books. The pace was perfect. Not too slow, not too fast. If one is working, he can easily follow the lessons.

And especially the teacher is great! Fully trained with an excellent knowledge of Dutch. Very helpful, consistent and supportive. Extra bonus: Effie works with teachers who are Dutch as their mother tongue, with whom we practice speaking. The perfect combination!

In the beginning I found speaking in Dutch and the syntax very difficult, not anymore! Now I am almost fluent and I can chat with my Dutch colleagues and talk about different topics. I can talk to my doctor, my son's teachers and other services.

I am very happy that I passed and obtained the B2 diploma NT2. Now I feel confident to speak Dutch everywhere. Now I can apply for more vacancies. If you want to learn Dutch quickly, easily and well, Learn2speak Dutch is the place. Highly recommended!

I wanted to learn Dutch because I lived and studied in the Netherlands. In the future I want to move back to the Netherlands and work there. A friend I met in college told me about Learn2speak Dutch. Then I tried an online class via Facebook and I really liked it. The teacher is so good, very friendly and explains everything clearly. The book we used was very good because it talks about interesting things that all foreigners in the Netherlands should know. The pace was good too, and everyone in our group helped each other. In the beginning the hardest part was understanding the Dutch accent and speaking Dutch. But we listened to a lot of Dutch texts in class and it got easier. Living in the Netherlands also helps, but we need to practice speaking to become more confident. Nowadays I use Dutch to listen to Dutch podcasts. I might try to use my Dutch to find a new job in the Netherlands.

I wanted to learn Dutch because I want to continue living in the Netherlands and make my daily life easier. It's easier to do my taxes, order a coffee, but also talk to my colleagues. I found Effie through Facebook. I saw that a lot of people had written good reviews for her. That's why I chose Learn2speak Dutch. I have the best experience with the classes. The teacher explains in detail all the grammar but also every word that I could not understand. The pace was very suitable for me and the book is the best for learning Dutch but also for taking the NT2 exams. In the beginning I found the pronunciation of the words very difficult but now it is easier with the help of my teachers. I use Dutch in my daily life but also sometimes at work. My daily communication has become easier.

I wanted to learn Dutch because I live and work in the Netherlands. It is very important for me to understand and speak Dutch. I have read many good comments on social media for Learn2speak Dutch. I spoke to Effie on the phone and I felt she is really good at her job. The books of the lessons are useful and pleasant. Effie and Myriam are calm and patient persons. They tried to help us in the best way. In the beginning I felt that grammar of Dutch is very difficult. I see now that many things are very simple. I try to use Dutch often. I speak it in the supermarket, at the municipality or with my neighbours. The Dutch appreciate if you try to speak their language. My top goal is to speak and write Dutch just as I speak and write in English. My dream is to be polyglot!

I wanted to learn Dutch because I live in the Netherlands permanently and I wanted to be able to understand the language. I found Effie and Learn2speak Dutch in an add on Facebook and one of the students told me about her. My experience with the classes was very good. I liked the way of teaching, the teacher is very direct with her students and the book had exercises with a good flow. What I found difficult at first was the grammar and that they sometimes speak Greek upside down! Now I use Dutch every day and I can communicate better with my colleagues! I'm very happy with that. Thank you Effie and Learn2speak Dutch!

I wanted to learn Dutch to expand my world and better understand Dutch culture. I found Effie through a Greek group on Facebook, she had very good reviews from fellow students. Pace, book and especially the teacher was really great! Grammar and sentence structure was really difficult for me in the beginning but it is getting better and better. I use Dutch in my daily life, I listen to the radio and I feel more integrated in Dutch society.

I wanted to learn Dutch because I came to live in the Netherlands. I believe that learning Dutch will make life easier for me, it will make my life in the Netherlands more enjoyable. I found Effie through social media and various groups on Facebook. I chose her because I’ve read good comments and the fact that we are both from Greece will make learning easier. My experience with the classes is very good. I found the book ''the final'' very practical. I am satisfied with the pace and the teacher. The teacher has experience and knowledge in learning Dutch as a second language. At first I found the pronunciation difficult, but not any longer. I obtained my diploma NT2 program II and now I use Dutch in my daily life but also at work.
