I attended the semi intensive course. It was good but you really need to work a lot in house. There is so much stuff in every lesson with grammar and vocabulary and if you work or don't t have enough time it s hard to follow and it s better to follow once a week course.
I feel I can speak to people in Dutch now - and understand lots, too. Thank you - this course made a real difference!
This level made me like and understand the language more.
In my opinion this course can be provided over two months (I.e. 8 weeks) instead of one month only, with the same weekly frequency (I e. two classes a week for two months). This is going to help students to practice the language properly because at A2 level we cannot practice the language outside the classroom.
I enjoyed my experience however I advise more speaking activities. I enjoyed my teacher and the way she taught. I would've liked to go a little bit slower and a little more interaction. The people are kind and the teacher was helpful. I would definitely recommend this course.
I found Stepping Stone I with Kathleen really helpful! It focuses mainly on grammar which for me is the most difficult part to understand. I can now understand and read a lot more than one month ago and feel a lot more confident having basic conversations with locals. I especially enjoyed Kathleen's classes, she is a great teacher!! After completing the beginners course and now SSI I will definitely be continuing with the next course to further improve my Dutch skills.
The provided book was inadequate for my needs. While I found the docent quite enjoyable the lack of support from the book made the course very difficult.
I was imparted a lot of knowledge in relation to Dutch language and I have learned it well. The only suggestion I would give isfocusing more and more on practising grammar which requires more time. Therefore I would highly recommend increasing the numbers of lessons. Good luck
I'm very glad I attended this course. It gave me some basic knowledge and I'm willing to continue my education here. Also huge thanks to Maarten, he is an amazing teacher!
Very good basic to start learning dutch
The course was to my liking
Good
I feel like we are learning a lot of stuff.
Very good course with the nice balance of speaking, writing and grammatica.
Good, I would do another Dutch course with Kickstart.

Very helpfull and professional
Great course. I could learn a lot in a very short time. I liked everything about the course: the teacher, materials, the process. Thanks!
Learnt a lot, maarten was great, however requires a lot of homework hours as it was very intensive. Will be enrolling into next level (stepping stone 1)
Excellent. Very good learning environment. I went from zero knowledge of Dutch to being able to speak in public places (restaurant, store, station) with confidence. Will continue to next level. Great teacher. Thank you.
Very interesting course, I had the intensive dutch course for bigginers and its very useful
I had a great experience learning Dutch with Maarten and have been provided with a solid foundation of Dutch to build upon.
Great first experience learning the basics of Dutch
Effective and informative
