I've taken the intensive Dutch A1-A2 and the intensive Dutch B1.1 courses. If you can afford the time and money, I recommend doing intensive courses as the quickest way of \switching\ on your Dutch :) All of my teachers were great, with diverse approaches and strengths, which helps with overall immersion and understanding.

I did an intensive Dutch-A2 course and I am 1000% happy about the course, the teacher (thank you so much Anne!), the organization and the infrastructures (Amsterdam university). I highly recommend!! Small mention: as the name « intensive » says, it’s an intensive course and the pace is high, so it might not fit everybody’s learning style

A professional language institution. I took 3 courses there. Hereby I mention them, vote and give a quick review from my experience. Dutch for Beginners: 5 points. Excellent teachers and very good methodology. It is a very good school for who want to start learning the language, but the course is very intensive. English - Upper Intermediate Level: 5 points. The best was the teacher here, professional, prepared, very patient with us and he tried to explain us all our weird questions with a lot of examples. We really practice and speak a lot at lessons. All my class felt that we learned a lot. English - Advanced Level: 4 points. We had good teachers but the methodology was not the appropriated for my class. However we spoke with the teachers and the coordinator and the issues were solved. But indeed we learn a lot, my listening improved a lot. In my opinion, it is a good center to learn English and especially Dutch. I think teachers and methodology make the difference but in general I enjoyed studying there and not only you learn a language, you also make friends and enjoy the city.

I took four Dutch courses in UvA Talen, and I must say the institution is excellent in providing language services. They have well-developed teaching programs and all necessary facilities for the course. Most of the teachers are competent, and I am grateful for their help. There was, however, one teacher with a terrible attitude towards the students. He made examples with Borat references (more offensive rather than just funny)\u200b in the first class as soon as he learned that I'm from Kazakhstan. Plus, I forgot a word in Dutch and asked that in English. The teacher reacted with a comment that this was not an English class and I must speak Dutch. I believe such an approach does not help with breaking a language barrier at all and is highly demotivating. I hope the organization will consider my feedback to avoid such unpleasant situations in future.
