"I got back yesterday from my week with my host family, joke van engelen and her husband. I had to write to tell you what a truly wonderful experience it was. Joke and Harry are 2 of the dearest people I've ever met. The lessons were wonderful, as was the entire experience--and living with them I learned much more than just my 5 hours of official lessons.
We worked around it, with an hour or 2 of lessons, then naps, etc. I wanted to thank you again for providing me with such a splendid experience. If you need another person on your list to recommend the program, or this particular teacher, I'd be happy to encourage any one else."
(Pieter, age 59)
"I had the most amazing time with my host family. It could not have been a better fit. On top of that, my Dutch improved so much in 5 weeks. I was glad that I had a base knowledge of the language, but the intense, personal lessons and 24/7 conversation was exactly what I needed. It was extremely tiring and stressful at times because I set high expectations for myself, but I had the best experience of my life and absolutely adore my teacher and her family. This definitely wasn't the last time I will see them!
The staff was always very helpful and the information given to me was very detailed. My host family was so warm and accommodating and always included me in everything and made me feel a true part of their family."
(Tina, age 19)
"An amazing experience! I really bonded with my host family in one short week. Even though my Dutch was decent when I went in, I hadn't spoken it in so long that the first day I could only speak German. By the end of the week, we were conversing fully in Dutch! My host family was incredibly patient and encouraging, making me feel at home right away. They helped me with not only my language skills but also gave me insight into Dutch customs and daily life. We shared meals, conversations, and even went on a local day trip together. I left feeling so much more confident in my Dutch and with a strong connection to my host family. I can't recommend the homestay experience enough!" (Molly, age 20)
Master the Basics
In the pursuit of language mastery, starting with a firm grasp of the basics is paramount. Establishing a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation lays the groundwork for more advanced learning and attaining fluency.
Utilize Technology
Tools such as AI chatbots and language learning apps can provide structured lessons, supplement learning and highlight specific weaknesses in your English ability.
Practice Speaking
Active participation in speaking, despite initial discomfort or fear of making mistakes, is crucial for language growth. Seeking out opportunities for conversation facilitates real-world application and is the quickest way to boost confidence. Soliciting feedback from peers, tutors, or language instructors will also offer valuable insights and strategies for improvement.
Write to Improve
Embracing writing as a means of practice and self-expression further solidifies language skills and reinforces grammatical structures and vocabulary usage.
Expand Vocabulary
Regular exposure to new words and phrases, whether through reading, listening, or vocabulary exercises, broadens linguistic proficiency and enhances expressive capabilities. Similarly, honing listening skills through exposure to podcasts, audiobooks, and news broadcasts sharpens comprehension abilities and acustoms learners to diverse accents and speech patterns.
Set Goals
Setting achievable language learning goals serves as a roadmap for progress and provides a sense of direction and purpose. Tracking milestones and celebrating small victories along the way serves as a source of motivation and encouragement to stay committed to the learning journey.
