Great school and programme

I participated in a semi-intensive course Stepping Stone III. It was quite intense, but greatly facilitated (kudos to Paul), really nice group and I feel like I made a progress. A lot of talking during lessons, which is a huge plus! The reverse way of teaching - where you have to prepare materials upfront is a quite interesting experience and speeds up the learning process, but requires a lot of self discipline. Yet, I am willing to continue this journey. I also appreciated the semi-intensive (twice a week) approach. It was sometimes difficult to be prepared to all sessions, and skipping some was inevitable due to work requirements, but still think it is a good way to keep the pace of learning the language.

The course provided me with the motivation to practice my Dutch language skills.

The course requires 2-4 hours of independent study per week to get the most out of the lessons. The teacher was very supportive and took her time to answer everyone's questions.

The course was very interesting and helpful

Marten is a very good teacher and I will gladly continue with next course knowing that he is teaching it. The lessons were very helpful with understanding more about the language, although a bit too fast. I highly recommend Kickstart.

Enjoyable

I learnt during the lessons. It was interactive and fun. Learning was there as it was covering each topic slowly and a good pace. We had many practice lessons, which were a stimulant to our learning. Thank you for this structure.

Best course and professor!

I really enjoyed taking Dutch lessons with Mr. Smit. He is really patient with all students and has a very professional attitude. Mr. Smit answers all the questions in a simple way, and stimulates students in the classroom.

Experience really impressive

Experience with Kickstart is really good , as I never expected I can start a little bit talking Dutch & reading . However, I would suggest to minimize group to 6 people , as 8 people in the group is too much. I really liked teacher , Harriet de Man , who is extremely keen to know everyones opinion , and very open to any question or suggestion I will definetely continue to learn Dutch , but when I have more spare time for that .

It was a great learning opportunity

Kickstart is a great language school. From the first interaction I appreciated the customer service. Very polite and professional. The lessons were great! Learning a language is always complicated, but the material and teacher helped me greatly getting a start on the Dutch language. Overall my reading, hearing, and pronunciation improved.

A very comprehensive and fulfilling Dutch course.

I really enjoyed my Dutch course with Kickstart. Firstly, our teach (Christine) was amazing. She had a great approach, went throught hings at an appropriate pace, engaged well with us all, and was very patient. While I am definitely not yet fluent, I understand Dutch a lot better now and often hear what I have learnt in my lessons in everyday conversations. I would love to do another course.

Heel mooi

I think the class has been very good for my learning progress, though a little fast. I would have liked to do the next course in-person at the same time, but it is a shame that there is no such option.
