You're a local in the making

You’ve been living in the Netherlands for a while and decided: I want to stay.

You’ve got a fun job and a vibrant social life, but you sometimes feel out of sync with your Dutch colleagues, friends, or the local shop around the corner.

You did try to integrate – you’ve picked up a few words and phrases, maybe even taken a course. But every time you work up the courage to speak only Dutch that day…

Dutchies reply in English, and your confidence crumbles.

You feel frustrated because it never seems good enough.

You’re afraid people think you sound silly – like you're stuck using baby words.

You feel isolated from the rest of society.

It’s safer to stick with English – because at least in English, you can truly be yourself.

But what you really want?

You just want to…

talk about what moves you, what you believe in, what you want from life
show your humor, your character and your intellect
say the right thing at the right time
use rich expressions
speak freely, without shame
and be part of Dutch society

You want to learn useful, real-life Dutch – language that actually works.

And I can help you do exactly that.

With the right tools and insights, I’ll help you communicate with confidence, experience Dutch life to the fullest, and truly integrate.

I have been learning Dutch for a while before I started with Joos and I can definitely feel a marked improvement. Her approach to teaching makes confident to make mistakes, as her corrections and methods are encouraging, engaging and fun! I always recommend Joos to anyone who wants to learn Dutch seriously with an interesting and talented teacher.

Joos is very engaged and patent when it comes to teaching the classes. She mixes up the teaching methods to keep it engaging and fun to participate.The classes have given me the confidence to finally speak some Dutch in my day-to-day.

Paul

Joos is a super nice teacher! Responsible and efficient, always comes up with nice content for the class and when I realise what time it is, our 1,5hr class is over, the time flies :) I 100% recommend Joos to the people who want or need to learn Dutch.

Joos is truly an amazing teacher! I have struggled for a long time to learn the Dutch language but Joos has the remarkable gift of making each class engaging, interactive and fun! She works with your needs on how you can best learn, for me it's music. And helps you understand not only the fundamentals of the language but also how the language is used colloquially. Book her now, you will be very happy you did! Je krijgt er geen spijt van!!!
