A1 Lesson 3 - Pronouncing double vowels correctly

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 63 C$ /h

The Dutch pronunciation is simply difficult. This can be especially difficult for people with a certain accent.

In this lesson we will practice with sounds. The focus is on double vowels, as we have a lot in the Dutch language. Think of: aa, ee, oo, uu. But also several double vowels, such as: au, ui, eu, ou.

This remains difficult for many students. But that's why we're going to practice this! Because if you practice this well, you will soon speak the language correctly.

At the end of the lesson you will receive a YouTube video from me, so that you can also practice at home.

About Me

hey you!

First of all, thank you for visiting my profile and so nice to meet you. I would love to get to know you. To get an idea of me, here is a short introduction about myself.

I describe myself as a world-traveler with a big passion for languages, cultures and challenges. I am in love with life itself and a big fan of sports, food, reading and learning new things.

I was born in Goa, India, where I have learned English to communicate with the people there, and where I have lived until the age of 3. Then I moved to Italy to live at my dads home, where I learned Italian. At the age of 6, I moved to The Netherlands, where my mom is originally from, and I was raised there. I learned Dutch and more English, as English has become a prior language in The Netherlands. Also, I graduated in a Bachelor Degree in English.

As I have always traveled since I was a kid, the wanderlust inside me has never gone away. During my university and work schedules, I traveled the world and developed more languages. At the age of 23, I studied in Buenos Aires for a year, where I learned Spanish. At the age of 26, I lived in Brazil and learned Portuguese. That's how I ended up speaking 5 languages.

During my life abroad, I realized how important it is to speak English. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to communicate with people in a foreign country. But also, improvement of a current speaking language is never a bad idea, as there are always new things to learn.

As an open-minded person with years of experiences in learning and speaking languages, getting to know new cultures and connecting with new people, I know the position in which you find yourself in. And I am here to help you to learn/improve your Dutch. If I can speak 5 languages, you can too. And always in a fun way! Speaking about the way of teaching.

How do I teach?
Every person is different. That's why I personalize my classes per student, so that you learn in a fun and comfortable way. Cause only when you are comfortable, learning is fun and motivational. First, I give a class to see who my student is. Like that I get to know the level of proficiency you own and what is the best way for you to learn.

My classes differ from grammar/vocabulary classes to practicing talking together. Also, I teach per topic. For example: introducing yourself, having a proper conversation about your day, traveling (asking your way around), restaurants/bars (how to order/talk about food). But also grammar and vocabulary classes to improve the basics. Anything to make you become a professional in Dutch!

In addition, I help students with schoolwork and writing a thesis in English and Dutch. I know how hard it is to write a thesis and how nice it is to get help with that. Last but not least, I review every class and give feedback, in order to make sure that the process goes well and suits your needs.

I really look forward to starting this journey with you! Do you?

A1 Lesson 1 - Greeting people and introducing yourself and others

63 C$ /h

A good start is half the work. In my first lesson you will learn how to greet someone in Dutch and how to introduce yourself and someone else.

This lesson consists of discovering new words, sounds, a reading exercise and having a conversation together.

But always in a fun and educational way.

A1 Lesson 2 - Naming and introducing your family and friends

63 C$ /h

In this lesson you will learn to name family members and friends in Dutch.

We also take a look back at the first lesson in which we greet and introduce someone. Also in this lesson we do both reading and speaking exercises. Because the more you practice speaking, the faster and easier you will learn the language.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

Learn Arabic in a practical, friendly and personalised way. I teach both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Moroccan Arabic (Darija), from beginner to more advanced levels.

My lessons focus on helping you communicate naturally and confidently. Depending on your goals, we can work on speaking, listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading and everyday conversations.

If you are learning Moroccan Darija, I can also help you understand how Moroccans actually speak in daily life, with useful expressions, dialogues and cultural context.

Lessons are adapted to your level and goals, whether you are learning Arabic for travel, family, work, relationships, studies or simply because you are interested in the language.

During the lessons, we use conversations, exercises, quizzes, role plays and personalised learning materials so you can practise what you learn immediately.

Beginners are very welcome — you do not need any previous knowledge of Arabic.

Hello! My name is Najwa. Originally from Canada, where I lived and studied in English and French, I recently moved to Belgium. I am comfortable using both languages on a daily basis, which allows me to explain concepts clearly, whether in pure English or by using comparisons with French when necessary.

With a degree in social work (UQAM), I have extensive experience in providing support, whether it be tutoring children with schoolwork and homework help, or helping them learn English. I know how to adapt my approach to each individual: patience, active listening, and effective teaching methods are at the heart of my teaching style.

I offer English lessons for all ages and levels:
-Beginners who want to lay a solid foundation
-Students receiving academic support (homework, exam preparation)
-Adult language development courses (conversation, speaking confidence, professional English)

My courses take place exclusively online.

My goal: for you to progress at your own pace, in a relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere. I adapt to your needs and objectives, whether it's passing an exam, preparing for a trip, or simply gaining confidence.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals!

I will teach at the students' homes; I do not have a home office (yet).
I can come by without any problem in the region of Zwijndrecht, Dordrecht, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, and Heerjansdam.
It could be for English or French tutoring or homework assistance (lower secondary).
I can also give conversation lessons for English, French, or Dutch (all levels).

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.
