Reviews for Dutch course
I followed the advanced module, which just ended. It is an excellent initiative for those who want to improve their knowlegde of the Dutch language. It is a great opportunity to learn the grammar rules and enrich our vocabulary. The fact that we have the weekly webinar makes us more responsible for preparing for the next meeting and keeping up with the lessons. Teachers are very committed to creating personal contact with each of us and giving us the opportunity to practice our skills in the Dutch language. I highly recommend it!
Excellent courses online! The lessons are well structured and presented in a friendly, professional manner. The Dutch language becomes more ``edible`` along with the beautiful professors Maria Popescu and Carmen Popescu! I also liked the webinar formula, it is interesting, interactive and convenient to learn the Dutch language sitting at your desk! We thank a lot to all those who have been involved in offering these courses! I think this is a great first aid to Romanians who want to learn Dutch.
recommend these courses! I've finished both the beginner and the advanced one. I was very pleased with the teaching and I want to thank the ladies for all the effort they have put on during the lessons to help us learn the Dutch language this easily!
Thank you very much for your patience and professionalism. Congratulations on everything you do and much more SUCCESS in all your projects.
Reviews Romanian Course
The Romanian language course for beginners is pleasant, interactive and payw attention to the news. It's a good start to learn the basics. It challenges you to read, write and speak Romanian in a fun way. I liked the course a lot, I've already done it twice!
I liked the course Romanian a lot! It was the best initiation in Romanian that I could imagine. Courses and lesson plans were well done, they had a good rhythm, and they were not just a step by step understanding of the language, but also of the customs, cuisine and culture in Romania.
I missed out on module 1, but I did participate in module 2 and 3. And I really have to compliment you. Nothing is perfect, but your courses are close. And as retired educational psychologist I do know what I am talking about. Structure and elements of the course are very good and the way it is presented online is up to present standards. That we experienced some internet hiccups during the classes is only normal.
I was not in the position to participate as intense as I would have wished (something you must have noticed during the last session), but I certainly have the ambition to review all 20 lessons in the near future in order to be prepared for a possible module 4. One small point. The content of the lessons are generally very good. In my opinion a little less attention to celebrations alien to Romania (Halloween, Sinterklaas) would be welcome. Simultaneously I realize that other students on the contrary appreciate this very much. Generally I am very happy with the content more specially the proverbs and expressions are very much appreciated. My suggestion for module 4 would be to open up a bit on Romanian literature, poetry and music.
Not change a thing compared to previous courses, I like your enthusiasm and your responses to when people say extra things.
9.
I really liked the course! I thought it was very well set up and doing it online is nice and accessible! I hope to partake again in one of the courses! I think I progressed quite a bit, especially in listening and speaking. It is great practice to listen to the lectures in a understandable form of Romanian.
