Dutch language courses in Amsterdam

Learning a language should be fun! Of course, after a hard day’s work, the last thing you want to do is learn a language from a dull grammar book. What if you could go to class, knowing that you will be able to apply the lessons you learn here during fun, out-of-the-classroom field trips? At Koentact, you will discover your city, meet local Dutch people, and have fun with your international classmates.

One of our students said in her survey: ‘You guys make learning Dutch a hobby!’ Another student said: ‘I met so many nice new people; it was like I relived my Erasmus program again.’ This is exactly what Koentact is all about!

  I followed both English and Dutch private lessons at Koentact. I wanted to do more than just learning a bit of Dutch and English. By following private lessons at Koentact I was aiming on getting used to the Netherlands, its inhabitants, the Dutch culture and the daily life. Koentact has helped me a lot during my first steps in the Netherlands. I really appreciated how the teachers found the right balance between formal and informal lessons. Koentact combined regular lessons with a real life experience in the city and it was great to get touch with the population, culture and language. I absolutely feel more at home now.
  
  Bedankt Koentact!

  The unique teaching concept of Koentact, in which students connect, participate and are challenged while participating in the process of learning a new language, matches our current economical situation, the one of The Challenge Economy, perfectly. A beautiful concept!

The teacher is dynamic and it’s educational method, which makes use of various media (audio, video, online language commands), is structured and were well adapted with our needs. Our progress is noticable and we are very pleased with the method of Koentact!

  Last year I followed a private Dutch course with one of Koentact’s teachers. I was very satisfied with the teaching method, the affluence of the course material and the willingness of the teacher to really listen to what I wanted to learn. Every lesson, the teacher succeeded to motivate me and to arouse my enthusiasm to learn more.

  Thanks to the courses I took at Koentact I was well prepared for my move. The courses not only helped me gain language skills in a fun, motivating way, they also helped me understand key cultural differences – and how to deal with them.
