I had a very rewarding week with Dialogue.
Prior to my week there, I participated in a couple of other evening courses in the Netherlands without success. While I could explain the intricacies of the plusquamperfectum structure, I struggled to get the most basic sentences out in everyday life.

To me that was the biggest advantage of Dialogue. I could choose the focus of my course. I chose speaking and I certainly got it! During lessons, meals and even coffee breaks I spoke Dutch. It was extremely intense but exactly what I needed to improve my confidence. The people were lovely and the meals delicious.

As the course was not sponsored by my company I had to pay for it myself. For that reason I did a lot of research into the intensive Dutch courses on offer. I chose Dialogue because it was the only one that provided private lessons at a reasonable price.

I literally had 4 different teachers who were all committed to improving my Dutch. Most importantly it worked, now I'm back in the Netherlands and speak Dutch all the time. I've received many compliments and am still trying to get my Dutch boyfriend to lift his jaw up from the ground!
