Sociataal Reviews

Koen is de beste

Koen is de beste This is not a random Dutch-speaking person posing as a teacher and trying to make you learn a word or two Koen approaches his lessons in a scientific and systematic way the learning program is well-structured and the course platform he built is top-notch At the same time the learning doesn t feel formal or boring My original motivation to take the course was to prepare for the inburgeren exams but I enjoyed the process so much that now I m thinking of going to B1 and beyond

Sociataal is the way to go

Koen has really turned my dutch learning process upside down I felt really lost and unmotivated without knowing how to improve my language skills until I found Sociataal I couldn t recommend this school enough It offers a bunch of different courses so it addapts to your lifestyle Personally i preffer the group courses because you have that cozy school feeling You spend 2 hours per week in a zoom call with the teacher and a few other students just practising the language in the most creative and fun ways The incredible interaction makes you really confortable to make mistakes the only way to improve as Koen likes to remind us After the class you have enough contents to keep you occupied during the week learning more and more dutch All in all Koen is not only an amazing teacher but also an amazing person He s been sensitive to my particular needs and always available to help me with any questions I have Sociataal is the way to go

Would recommend fun informal with a wide range of content

Would recommend my 1 2 courses were taught by Koen who is kind with lots of energy and keen to help and make it fun Course content is tailored to Ex pats newly settling in to the Netherlands I do feel I needed to do more prep work for the classes than was communicated but notes and extra activities are easily accessible online to allow you to do that

A modern fun and interactive approach to learning Dutch

I have been attending Koen s A2- course as I did with A1- and A1 and it s been an incredibly journey so far The contents are really well-designed and integrated you always feel like you re learning new things in a really nice pace The approach is very distinctive from what you would learn in a traditional school Koen makes it fun and super interactive with a lot of different type of exercises not just watching videos or writing the same sentences over and over again As for the classes they re so good The groups are generally small and very equal skillwise which allows for a cozy and comfortable atmosphere but at the same time you feel like you re out of your comfort zone by practicing everything you re learning which forces you to learn a lot It s gold specially if you don t live in the Netherlands

I highly recommend the Socia Taal

I highly recommend the Socia Taal school to anyone who needs to develop communicational skills and likes the order and logical way of learning both alone in the app and in small groups The material is very well designed to develop all language skills with an emphasis on speaking during classes The teachers are great and experienced learning in this system is fun and brings satisfaction

The best way to learn dutch

Sociataal is by far the best experience I ve had with learning Dutch After trying three other teachers Sociataal stands out as the best by far I ve made much more progress with Koen than in any previous classes The platform for self-study is packed with resources and is easy to use More importantly Koen is approachable flexible and makes learning genuinely enjoyable I can t recommend Sociataal enough I m currently taking my third course with Koen and will definitely continue for the upcoming months

I love it here

Sociataal is such a fun school to be a part of the lessons are very interactive and as a very visual learner I definitely enjoy it I learnt way more than I thought I would but with that I could improve more Koen is a very nice and patient teacher I am very excited to continue my Dutch learning The vocabulary course is also very explanatory with a lot more information on topics along with exercises and puzzles that help you memorise the vocabulary

H l leuk

The course A1- has been excellent The exercises you do on your own are well organised and fun you learn vocabulary while building an excellent grammar base The classes are made to help us gain confidence to start speaking and it really works The people that participated in the course were committed and chill And Koen the teacher is very supportive and knows what he is doing very well creating a very welcoming and relaxing environment As a mum of a newborn the way I could do the exercises on my phone made it super easy to stay engaged as I could do little things here and there when I had a moment 100 recommended
