Hello,

I am Michiel, a freelance translator located in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. In addition to Dutch, French and, to a lesser extent, German are also spoken in Belgium.

I have worked as a translator/copywriter in a variety of companies for 16 years and on a self-employed basis for 9 years. With this experience, I have the expertise to support both adults and students who want to learn Dutch or improve their existing knowledge. It's never too late to improve your language skills.

My main goal is to help you progress in this language at your own pace. Whether you want to learn the basics of Dutch or take your language skills to the next level, I will adapt to your specific needs and goals. I do not work according to a fixed schedule and can therefore adapt to the client's wishes. Evening and weekend sessions are absolutely no problem for me.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss your language needs and specific expectations. I look forward to familiarizing you with my mother tongue, Dutch.

Michiel

Learning new languages might not be that easy for some people, but with a good methodology and dynamic classes, everything is way more simple and possible. My classes are based on learning the language from the basics, learning about grammar, speaking, listening, writing, and reading. The intention is that you can learn the language completely. In addition, I only give customized classes that can be adapted to your needs. If you need to learn the language for any particular reason, let me know and I can adapt my classes so that you learn as perfect as possible and fulfill your purpose!
