Vivo Dutch

In the past 10 years that I've been a Dutch teacher, I've noticed that most students struggle with the U, UU, and UI sound.
When I teach them how to make these sounds, they're all like, 'Wow, that's easier than I thought!'

I teach you how to make those sounds in my free mini-course. You'll get exercises and lots of tips to improve your Dutch pronunciation.

Comment 'mini', and I'll send you the link to join this free mini-course.

🚨Last call!

Enrollment closes soon!

My A0-A1 and A1-A2 Dutch courses are available now but registration closes this week 😮

I'm not a fan of group courses because in 99% of the cases, you're bored because the teacher adjusts the pace to the 'slow' students .. (This happened to me once when I took a Spanish course..).

Or..

You can't keep up with the pace, things are going too fast and you'll lose motivation.

Does this sound familiar?

😎My courses are flexible, you decide the pace AND you'll get guidance, support, and feedback from me:
I'm certified and a former assessor for the integration exam.

😀Do you want more info?
Comment 'coursejune' and I send you a message 🙂 (or go to my link in bio)

❌Stop spending time on apps (iykyk) if they're not helping you to speak Dutch confidently.

There, I said it. The amount of people who reach out to me who said they've learned Dutch for a few months using a certain app (👀) and still lacked a good foundation of the language, is numerous!

After months, they didn't know how to
👀Conjugate verbs in the present tense
👀Use the future tense
👀Use modal verbs
And most importantly: speak Dutch in public...

I'm not telling you to completely stop using these apps, but work towards speaking goals if you want to speak in public!

After completing the first lesson of my Dutch course, you'll feel confident to speak, I'm sure!!

Info? Comment 'coursejune' and get all the info.
The course is available from 187,- euros (depending on how much support you prefer).

Enrollment closes SOON ⏰

😆Let me tell you why it takes so long for you to feel confident in daily Dutch situations..
You probably are learning random words, using free apps or you learn Dutch without a strategy. Is this true? 👀

I promise you, it doesn't have to be hard! One thing my students say is that my strategy is so simple and useful that they feel relieved and confident that they'll be successful in learning Dutch.

The set-up of my courses is easy and structured. You will speak Dutch after finishing every lesson, I promise!

Enrollment is now open, for a few more days.

The price depends on how much support you want. The most affordable package is 187,- ex VAT for 1 level in total.

Comment 'coursejune' if you want more info 🤗

verstaan = to hear
begrijpen = to understand

If you don't understand basic Dutch (als je het niet begrijpt), then I can help you!

My beginners courses are now open for enrollment. Comment the word 'coursejune' and I'll send you all the info 🤗

😆When you say "prima" as a response to "Hoe gaat het?", people might think that something is up.

"Prima" is more neutral. If you're doing great, you can also say "uitstekend", "fantastisch", "toppie", "(heel)goed".

Hoe gaat het met jou vandaag? ☺️

☺️When to use 'hebben' or 'zijn' as an auxiliary verb when you use the perfectum?

Ik heb gelopen.

Versus

Ik ben gelopen.

I explain all this in a short 5-minute video.

Just comment the word 'hebben' and I'll send you the link 🔗

😆to be clear: you don't get ✨me✨ but you get audio/video of my recorded voice.

The past tense... Do you know all the irregular verbs? Do you know how to conjugate them? How to pronounce them?

Comment VERBS and I'll send them 😉

I get it. Speaking a new language is more than memorizing rules and irregular verbs.

You have to have a game plan. A strategy.
But pffft, that sounds like a lot of work.

Well, actually... It's pretty simple.

Let me show you.

In my free guide, I explain my unique ABCD strategy that will help you speak with confidence.

Kun jij een zin maken met 'kunnen'?
Ik geef je feedback!

Wat is het verschil (difference) tussen KUNT en KAN?
En is het KUN JE of KUNT je?

Kijk de video 🙂
Als je vragen hebt, dan hoor ik het graag!

😝Ik ga niet op vakantie 🥲

A common mistake is using 'voor' when you want to say you go on vacation for 1 week.
❌Ik ga voor 1 week op vakantie.
✅Ik ga 1 week op vakantie.

Or another common mistake:
❌Ik ga in 1 week op vakantie.
✅Ik ga over 1 week op vakantie.

Or:
❌Ik woon voor 3 jaar in Nederland.
✅Ik woon 3 jaar in Nederland.

Hoelang woon jij in Nederland?

🔸de vrienden = male/mixed group of friends
🔸het vriendje = boyfriend, pronounced in a cute way OR a boy (age 0-10) that is for instance friends with your child

Finally! After many requests ;)

https://www.youtube.com/

I'm a structured kinda girl as you might know. I've created two types of videos/playlists: Daily Dutch Situations and Building Blocks.

In Daily Dutch Situations, we'll work towards a realistic speaking goal, something you can practice in real life immediately after watching the video.

In Building Blocks, I share info about grammar rules, pronunciation, vocabulary and useful phrases.

It's all based on my ABCD strategy to help you speak with confidence. This strategy is also the foundation of my courses and how I teach my students 🤗

I hope to see you on the other channel too!
And yes, I'll still be here on Instagram 😊

🤷🏻‍♀️ Many times, I got the question: "Vivian, are you on YouTube?"And I have to be honest, I didn't like being on camera a few years ago. That changed. I did it anyway because sometimes, you have to step out of your comfort zone. But the main reason I did it is because I know I can share so much free value that will help you confidently speak Dutch.

So, my first 5 YouTube videos will be launched in a few days! And OMG I'm so excited. I put my heart and soul into it (and many working hours!).

On Wednesday, January 24 (24-01-2024, love that date!) it's launch day! The 5 videos will go live.

🥳🥳Comment ‘YOUTUBE’ and I’ll send you the direct link to my channel so that you can subscribe.

I'll upload a new video every other week. I'll make sure to share as much value as possible. You'll learn how to speak Dutch in daily Dutch situations as well as specific grammar rules.

🤪Learning Dutch via apps or YouTube isn't enough.

There, I said it.

What you need is a strategy so that you're going to learn Dutch successfully. And by that, I mean: speaking it in public instead of 'knowing' some Dutch.

In my free guide, I share:

➡️a proven and easy strategy so that you're going to speak Dutch confidently;

➡️my 5 secrets so that you're going to learn Dutch successfully;

➡️a list of (free) resources that will help you boost your listening and reading skills.
