“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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
