Do-it-yourself method
You can work it through just by yourself: the explanation is in English and you can correct yourself with the answers in the books. In the audio files on this website, you’ll find all exercises, so there is a lot of material to practice with.
Vocabulary
In the books you’ll find the vocabulary of everyday language. So, if you need other words, use Duolingo or other language apps.
Overcome your fear of speaking just by understanding the theory, making the exercises and repeating the audio files. It is not that hard!
With support
A language coach can be a great support in the learning process. If you can find a language institute that is working with it, that will be fine, too.
The level of previous education
In principle, the course can be done by everyone. Some grammatical knowledge is needed, but the books provide a glossary for it. Moreover, just making the exercises together with the audio files, would help you a lot.
Heleen crafted her ways to teach Dutch over the years, to the point she made her own tool, the grammar and exercises books. Her approachable, patient, and often humorous methods made the process of learning Dutch much easier, resulting in a tangible progress in a short period.
