“I strongly recommend TaalBoost! The Level 1 (Complete Beginner) course was great. I had been living in the Netherlands for over a year before I registered for this class, and I regret not having done it sooner. The course focuses on giving students the basic tools to build/understand sentences, but the real magic of the class is its focus on getting students to speak. After just 6 weeks, I can now have basic everyday interactions in Dutch, and even though my accent is horrendous, people actually understand what I'm saying!” - Magdalène Schock
Read More“I was signed up for Level 3 course and after 12 weeks - two courses - I feel much more confident and don’t say „I don’t speak Dutch” in panic when somebody asks me something on the street. 😊 Mirko and Martine are amazing teachers and I recommend the school to anyone who wants to learn in a friendly atmosphere and make new friends!” - Natalia Chlebowska

Read More“I just finished Level 4 with TaalBoost, It was the third time for me with TaalBoost and I am still looking forward for more. The location is very easy to reach, the lessons are always fun and organic not just one size fits all.

Read More“After long days at work, I normally wouldn’t want to go sit in a three hour language lesson- however these courses always gave me a certain energy and excitement. The coursework can be intense, but the teachers make it so you feel welcomed and able to learn (and make mistakes) comfortably. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn Dutch but is scared to take the leap.” - Jessica Rangel

Read More“I took the TaalBoost 1 week Intensive Level 1 course recently. I must say, I couldn't have learned so much dutch in one week with anyone else. Mirko's diligence, patience, focus, clarity, kindness and energy make it all possible. I will sign up for Level 2 and am looking forward to it.” - Gillian Haro

I wouldn't have imagined that I would actually learn this much in just a few weeks!” - Martina Havlenová
Read More“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.

Read More"Before the course, I wanted to be able to have a conversation in Dutch. But was amazed how much more I learned, beyond my expectations! Mirko and his team were extremely professional, and quite experienced as language teachers. Plus it was in a great location. Who needs the nuns when you have TaalBoost!" - Peter Mulroy, US
Read More"I have learned so much in 6 days. The instructors are absolutely the best and the courses are small and you build relationships with your fellow students. I was sad when it ended. Will definitely take the next level. I would recommend them completely." - Serena van Osta
Read More"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
Read More"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
Read More"Great language school, very thorough in their approach, and they ensure that you grasp the language even until the tiniest detail. Definitely would recommend!" - Nonye Onwudiwe
Read More"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
Read More"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
Read More“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
Read More"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
Read More"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
