“The structure of the course was clearly laid out from the start. I liked that there were exercises assigned to be done before each class. They really helped in adopting the new concepts and vocabulary. I was quite happy with the progress I had made in just one course and am going to continue taking courses at Taalboost.” - Aneta Stevanovic

"Our group had a very "gezellig" vibe and I so enjoyed going to the classes every week. During this course I felt I gained a much greater understanding and knowledge of sentence structure. From this knowledge I developed greater confidence to speak in Dutch and took my first steps at using Dutch in social conversation with work colleagues. During our classes we were always given plenty of opportunity to partake in activities engaging us in conversation and thus we enjoyed an active learning environment.” - Elizabeth Whelan

"TaalBoost courses are excellent! Mirko is a very professional and easy going teacher. He is demanding, but results are fantastic! He makes the effort to adjust the course based on the needs of his students, his lessons are always energetic and fun. The vocabulary covered in the course is very practical for daily use. I enjoyed working with Mirko very much!" - Dasha Yashan

"My main goal was to pass inburgeren exam. We have reached our goal together and now I have all 5 exams ‘geslaagd’ from the first try. Moreover, I feel more comfortable right now working with my Dutch colleagues when we have meetings in Dutch. I really recommend TaalBoost to everyone who wants to pass the exams or just to improve language level." - Ivan Mashey

"I would highly recommend studying Dutch with Mirko! His class was by far the best I followed during my time in the Netherlands. Language classes (especially at A1-2 level) can so often be distracted by those few students who don’t actually want to try, but Mirko’s classes avoid this because he has a wonderful way of engaging and motivating everyone. I used to worry about speaking Dutch in public and making mistakes, but Mirko gave me confidence to use Dutch a lot more." - Kate de Smeth

“My expectation was only to learn very basic Dutch that would help me to read some letters with the help of online translation however the result was so much than my expectations. The course was very beneficial not for only learning basic Dutch but also for knowing Dutch culture and traditions. I strongly recommend everyone who is new in the Netherlands to join a course with TaalBoost. It will be an exciting step for fast adaptation!" - Sercan Ayyıldız

"I really enjoyed the Dutch classes I had with Mirko. He may be one of the nicest and most benevolent teacher I have ever had. This is really important for me, and especially because Dutch is a complicated language, which is difficult to learn. Him being nice really established a good atmosphere and gave me confidence. Mirko has this "thing" that all the teachers should have, that makes us want to learn and improve!" - Marlène Meynier

"It is very important to me not to get bored during a lesson, and with Mirko this never happened. He invites you to participate and this makes lessons more entertaining. After my course with Mirko, I could express myself better in Dutch and I lost the fear of speaking Dutch with people in my daily life. He is always trying to help you. You will enjoy his class and most importantly - you'll learn Dutch with him." - Guadalupe Millán

"Mirko is able to explain each lesson in a really easy way and I was really learning fast. After some week I was already able to have a basic conversation in Dutch. Now I am able to understand when people are talking and I am able to write email and messages. Go to TaalBoost and start immediately the lesson! You will see improvements already after a few weeks." - Carlo Perrone, Italy

"Since Mirko is not a native but definitely sounds like one, he has a broader understanding why people make certain mistakes which is a great benefit. Moreover, the topics he covers are much more useful than those I have encountered in my previous Dutch courses. Lastly, he listens to his students' needs closely and is very open to suggestions. My vocabulary has expanded greatly and my grammar has improved. Furthermore, I was able to engage in more conversations within the context which benefited my daily life." - Zuzana Gombitova
