“The best language course I’ve ever had!!!! During A1 intensive course we made an incredible transition from knowing zero Dutch to a level sufficient for simple everyday conversations. And that’s within a week! Amazing!” - Anna Steinzeig
“The best Dutch course in Amsterdam! I completed successfully 2 levels! Guided by experts, small groups, very professional teachers, empathic, capable of creating group cohesion! Great location too. It was very intensive, difficult but the best choice, beautiful experience and very valuable! I am very grateful. Vandaag begrijp ik en spreek ik Nederlands!” - Silva Heijneman
“I started a course at TaalBoost in March 2020 and because of the known circumstances the course was turned into an online one. I was impressed by how easy it is to study Dutch online and how much fun it is. Thanks a lot to the TaalBoost teachers!” - Olga Sergeeva
“I've done a few courses in foreign languages and this tops the lot. Absolutely fantastic teachers, subject matter, and with a great pace to the course. I really enjoyed the lessons and feel much more confident with Dutch. The lessons were full of fun with a great mix of relevant linguistic challenges. Bring on Level 4!” - Ross Curzon-Butler
"The best Dutch course that I have attended so far. I really enjoyed every lesson. I would come to the school eagerly even after a long workday and go home in high spirits after our classes. I really hope a new Level 5 course will be organised, as I cannot see myself going to any other language school with the same success!" - Julia Tsvetkova
“Fantastic course! The teachers were very knowledgeable and engaged, learning was made fun and overall the experience was for at least 5 stars! Couldn’t recommend more!! I can’t wait for the next level!” - Tereza Brachtlova
“I completed multiple courses with TaalBoost, I was extremely happy with the increase in my Dutch understanding and speaking. I have recommended several people to study Dutch here. Thank you Mirko and the gang!” - Dan McCabe
“I really enjoyed the Dutch course for beginners at TaalBoost. The teachers were super nice, but most of all it was very effective! The atmosphere in the class was very cosy, and the pace was just right to stay motivated, and even do all of the homework. Moreover, it is not only a language course, but a full introduction to the Dutch culture - nicely complemented by extras like Dutch karaoke evenings and workshops about Dutch music history.” - Thomas Krais
“I have the utmost respect and gratitude for the incredible TaalBoost teachers who gracefully and expertly switched to an online forum (zoom) for leading our L5 course in the midst of the Corona crisis. I have gotten so much out of my courses (L 3, 4, 5) and am so eager to continue on. It's such a comprehensive and lively program and I highly recommend it to anyone.” - Meighan Stoops
“TaalBoost is the place to be if you want to learn or improve Dutch! The teachers are great, supportive, funny and very helpful. I recommend these classes, I had a very good experience and my level of Dutch became better, I am more confident to speak and to practise, all thanks to my amazing teachers!” - Cătălina Bârsan
“TaalBoost was an excellent experience. The teachers were patient, understanding and very friendly. I found that they were happy to discuss words and expressions outside of the book, meaning that I felt that I had a much more relevant vocabulary leaving the lesson. I'm looking forward to taking more classes!” - Phoebe Redlin
“I recently completed the Level 2 Intensive Dutch course (6 days). The course itself was great, I learned a lot and went from having a good vocabulary to being able to structure sentences. I am more confident with my Dutch and regularly use it now when I'm out and about in Amsterdam. The teachers were fantastic, very attentive, knowledgeable and patient. The lessons were well structured and covered a lot of ground. Dank je wel TaalBoost!!” - Nicolas Stratford
“I did an intense advanced course and in a month I felt that it gave me a lot! I can freely speak now and I feel more confident with the new words, phrases and insides in the Dutch culture I have learnt from the course + the group is not too big and you always get enough attention from the teachers. Nice atmosphere and inclusive space. Thank you!” - Gleb Maiboroda
“The class sizes were wonderfully small & the book + in-class exercises were great. The first week, class met in person. The second week (due to the implementation of social distancing), class resumed online. A big thanks to Mirko, Jojanneke, Jeanne, Charlotte, Peter & Bart (& to my classmates) for their help & support. Wishing them all well - & looking forward to L3.” - Jamie Bolio, USA
“Great teachers, good sized groups, relevant textbook and exercises. I took the Level 2 course and it was just what I needed. Would highly recommend!” - Marina Baskaric
“Very nice teachers who are very knowledgeable. Well-structured lessons with an emphasis on collaboration means there are lots of opportunities to practise and learn. I really enjoyed my Level 1 Beginners course and am going back soon for level 2!” - Will Morley
“Hands on learning with many exercises during the lessons. Exceeded my expectations!” - Jagreeti Hazarika
“A really fun place to learn Dutch and to overcome the mental barrier to start using it in daily life! The teachers are very friendly and explain things well, the lessons are engaging and interesting, the course is quite intensive but you will learn a lot.” - Aleksandra Kaminska
“TaalBoost is simply the best Dutch language school in Amsterdam if not in the whole Netherlands in my opinion. I'm saying that because of the professionalism, dedication and friendliness of the teachers. A lot of respect for Mirko for his way of teaching, patience and explanation.” - Ihab Bishara
“I learned a lot with TaalBoost. A perfect example of learning and enjoying at the same time. Teachers are really good and nice. They are eager to teach with all those fun activities and games. I didn’t speak Dutch totally, like nothing. Maar nu ben ik zelfverzekerd dat ik in het nederlands kan communiceren” - Daniel Recio
“I strongly recommend TaalBoost! The Level 1 (Complete Beginner) course was great. I had been living in the Netherlands for over a year before I registered for this class, and I regret not having done it sooner. The course focuses on giving students the basic tools to build/understand sentences, but the real magic of the class is its focus on getting students to speak. After just 6 weeks, I can now have basic everyday interactions in Dutch, and even though my accent is horrendous, people actually understand what I'm saying!” - Magdalène Schock
“I was signed up for Level 3 course and after 12 weeks - two courses - I feel much more confident and don’t say „I don’t speak Dutch” in panic when somebody asks me something on the street. 😊 Mirko and Martine are amazing teachers and I recommend the school to anyone who wants to learn in a friendly atmosphere and make new friends!” - Natalia Chlebowska
“I have been trying to learn Dutch for 4 years using online classes and even a private teacher. This class taught me the most in the shortest amount of time and was also the most fun! Thank you to my teachers, Peter and Mirko!” - Jeanne Kuntz
“I just finished Level 4 with TaalBoost, It was the third time for me with TaalBoost and I am still looking forward for more. The location is very easy to reach, the lessons are always fun and organic not just one size fits all. I did both the intensive and the non-intensive courses and my experience with both of them was truly amazing.” - Ahmed …
“After long days at work, I normally wouldn’t want to go sit in a three hour language lesson- however these courses always gave me a certain energy and excitement. The coursework can be intense, but the teachers make it so you feel welcomed and able to learn (and make mistakes) comfortably. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn Dutch but is scared to take the leap.” - Jessica Rangel
“Mirko and Jeanne are the best teachers of Dutch. Smart, friendly, humane, paced just right. Classes were sparkling, fun, happy, dense with learning. By the end of the 12 classes, you will be speaking, writing and reading Dutch.” - Shahwali Tareen
“I would definitely recommend TaalBoost to anyone who's searching for a place to start learning Dutch! The atmosphere in the class was great and both Mirko and Lynn are amazing teachers. I wouldn't have imagined that I would actually learn this much in just a few weeks!” - Martina Havlenová
“The structure of the course was clearly laid out from the start. I liked that there were exercises assigned to be done before each class. They really helped in adopting the new concepts and vocabulary. I was quite happy with the progress I had made in just one course and am going to continue taking courses at Taalboost.” - Aneta Stevanovic
"Mirko is really an expert on how to make learning a language fun. We do a lot of hard work in a relaxed atmosphere, so after attending two intensive courses I have not only learned a lot, but I also had a great time with some amazing teachers and fellow expat students." - Suzana Dordevic
“I took the TaalBoost 1 week Intensive Level 1 course recently. I must say, I couldn't have learned so much dutch in one week with anyone else. Mirko's diligence, patience, focus, clarity, kindness and energy make it all possible. I will sign up for Level 2 and am looking forward to it.” - Gillian Haro
