These courses are flexible. You can start when you want.
The recommended pace is one module per week, eight weeks in total. You have three years of access to the materials and Vivian's help and feedback.
Most students need around 6 hours per week to complete one module. This time investment depends on your personal factors. 

Both! Work through the lectures at your own pace. If you follow the structure of this course, you will complete the course in only 8 weeks! But take
all the time you need.

You'll get access to the online learning platform and you can check out the modules at your own pace. You'll get videos, audio, exercises, games, quizzes and assignments. This is all self-paced. If you get the DIYplus or Premium package, you'll get extra assignments to work on your writing and speaking skills. Vivian will check those personally. 

Any questions or do you want feedback? Your teacher Vivian is the host of the online community and is happy to help you!  

When you join the course, you'll get a 14-day money-back guarantee meaning you will get your money back if it's not something for you. If you haven't tested more than 1-2 modules and if you email me within 14 days.

And check this video to get a look inside the course. This video is an example of the A1 course (A2 and B1.1. have the same set-up).  (I show you what it looks like when you're on your laptop but you can do the course on your phone as well):

The DIY package and DIYPLUS package are 100% flexible. You can learn Dutch whenever you want. The difference is that you'll get feedback on your writing/speaking skills and pronunciation by Vivian if you get the DIYPLUS package. You can submit speaking/writing assignments and Vivian will send you her feedback (text/voice message).
The DIY package is without this personalized feedback. When you join the DIY course, you'll still get exercises to work on speaking, writing, listening and reading skills (as well as grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary, etc.). These will be corrected by the system.

These courses are something for you if you need something flexible instead of a fixed schedule.
You'll get access to my online learning platform andthe DIY and DIYplus package is 100% flexible.

This course is NOT for you if you want a regular course with multiple Zoom sessions per week with a fixed schedule. This is not a course with sessions in which I teach and you (and the rest of the group) listen. Why? Because I know that keeping up with a group is hard (because of the schedule and because you might learn faster or slower than the other students). 

If you're currently abroad and if you want to pass the A1 MVV exam, I recommend following my A1 course in combination with studying the materials from naarnederland.nl. With my A1 course, you'll get a strong foundation to pass the exam and build confidence to speak Dutch immediately after moving here. When you move here, you can immediately continue with A2.

When you finish my A2 course, your level will be a solid A2 and you'll be ready to prepare for the exams. The preparation phase will take a few days and I recommend doing that by taking the practice exams from the government (inburgeren.nl). If you want extra materials to pass the A2 speaking exam, I recommend my 'A2 speaking exam prep essentials' which are available for 37,- ex VAT. I used to be an assessor for the A2 speaking exam and in these materials, I share all the insights to help you pass this exam.

The B1.1. course will help you get to level B1.
If you need to take the B1 integration exam, I suggest taking my B1.2. course afterwards too. This course will be available later in 2025. Then your level will be B1/B1+ and with the help of the free practice materials from the government, you can prepare for the exam. My B1 courses will make preparing a lot more easy.

Yes! After completing the course, you'll get a certification of participation/completion so that you can prove you've took lessons.

Please note that any certificate from any school is not legit when it comes to proving you're at a certain level. The only way you can do this is by taking an official exam by DUO. But of course, my certificate will help when an employer asks if you've taken lessons.  

After the 8 modules, you'll get an exam/test that tests your understanding of the modules, your writing, reading and listening skills. 

With all packages, you can either pay the full amount right away or you can pay in two or three installments. The first installment will be paid right away and the second (and third) payment will be automatically charged exactly one (and two) month(s) from the first payment. If you decide to pay in two or three installments, you pay a few euros extra because of administration costs. After the final installment, there are no additional costs.

 I would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact me within 14 days of purchasing  and I will refund you the money.

If you live in the NL or EU, customers need to pay VAT. This is 21%
I mention the prices on my website in two ways: 'ex VAT' and 'incl VAT'. If you live outside of the EU, you don't need to pay VAT.
For instance, someone who's living in the NL pays 286,77,- for the DIYplus package and someone who's living in Canada pays 237,- for that same package.

The A1 or A2 Dutch course is something for you if you need something flexible instead of a fixed schedule.

Yes but you have to be a bit patient. I'm working on this B1 course. The course will be ready at the end of 2024 (no exact date yet).
Meanwhile, you can join my A1 and A2 course.

If you want to be the first to get all the details about the B1 course, then put your name on the wait-list here.

After completing the A2 course, you're level will be at A2. That means, you're ready to prep for the exams by doing the practice exams from the government (inburgeren.nl).
Any information about KNM is not included in the course.
As a former assessor for the integration exam, I know what you need to get to level A2 and ultimately pass the exams.
 
You can only start the A2 course if your current level is around A1.
