I believe this won’t work: One Dutch lesson a week won’t get you very far

I get it – you’ve got a busy life. Your calendar is packed with work, sports, family, and social commitments. Now, on top of all that, you’re supposed to make time for Dutch lessons. How are you supposed to fit that in?

Manageable Dutch lessons

Then you see it – Dutch lessons just once a week. Sounds manageable, right? You think, “I can do that.

But here’s the thing: from my experience, if you truly want to take the next step in your career or better integrate into Dutch society, one lesson per week simply isn’t enough.

And if those lessons are in a large group where everyone is moving at the same pace, it’s even less effective. You can’t expect to really learn the language this way.

Learning a new language is a challenge

In my opinion, it gets even more challenging if you’re too nervous to practice Dutch at work or during daily activities like grocery shopping.

All your progress ends up relying on that single class you attend each week. The limited practice makes it easy to forget what you learned, and you lose confidence in applying your skills in real-life situations.

Learning a language requires regular practice, feedback and consistency

Once-a-week lessons don’t provide the immersion and repetition needed to build confidence and fluency.

And in group classes, you’re forced to stick to the same level and tempo as everyone else, even if it’s too slow or too fast for you. From my perspective, this once-a-week approach is simply not effective.

Tailormade training

My program offers a complete, personalized method that guarantees results, so you can effectively improve your Dutch communication in the workplace. It demands time, motivation, and perseverance.

It’s this combination that truly gets you results; allowing you to not only learn but actively use Dutch in real-life situations.

What are your experiences with this? How often do you think language lessons should be held for optimal improvement?
