You don’t need much in order to be able to take the Dutch course via Skype : just a computer or tablet with an internet connection, a Skype account, earphones with a microphone and, ideally, a webcam. If you prefer to follow your Dutch course via Teams, GoToMeeting or Zoom, this is of course also possible.

Each lesson lasts 55 minutes and takes place live via a direct Skype link with your teacher. In the Skype lesson you are encouraged to speak as much as possible, to ensure you learn to speak Dutch as quickly as possible. You will cover various topics and your private teacher will use a variety of methods to maximise the effectiveness of your lessons. You will also be sent homework by email to prepare for your next lesson. Read more about the content of the lessons here.
