My name is Brenda and I am born in the Netherlands. At the moment I live in Nijmegen, the oldest city of the Netherlands. A lot of foreign... students live here because it is a university city. I have been interested in languages from an early age. That is why I have learned English, German, French and Spanish. But in my area I am mainly known for my excellent Dutch language skills and my eye for spelling and grammar. Other things that interest me are cooking and baking and being creative. As a volunteer I have given guided tours and I have done workshops in both English and Dutch. I also love walking in nature or enjoying the beach and the sea! I am currently learning Turkish, so I fully understand what you are experiencing as a language student. That’s why I am very patient. We practice as much as what you need. Is there something you don’t understand? Feel free to ask again, then we can approach the material in a different way so that it is clear for you. I also know from experience how great it feels when you can communicate with someone in the local language! So let's go for this challenge together! Your needs and progress as a student are central. Please indicate before the first lesson what you would like to work on so that I can prepare myself for the lesson. A number of options are: - Preparation for the integration course (inburgeringscursus) Speaking, listening, reading and writing. Cultural and work-related topics. - Beginners - Advanced (Personalized Lessons) Dutch We can focus on every aspect of the language. When you want to learn from a book we can use your material or I will advise you which book you can purchase. As a beginner you start with the basics, the alphabet and some basic words. We extend this so that you can start simple conversations in situations of everyday life and that you become an advanced! Read more
