I help with an approach of learning Dutch that is completely different from any other language course. It is called Dutch Brainwashing. The immediate result is that you learn at least 7 times faster and that you can say much more in Dutch than you ever imagined...Many people find it hard to imagine how easy it is to boost your Dutch, but... it is possible and it is far more fun too! All you need to do, is to open up... Be willing to play and start to see things from a broader perspective.... Immediately you'll notice that once you speak Dutch it makes your life a lot richer! If you like this idea then read my FREE eBook Why You Hate Learning Dutch & 7 Secrets To Change It or come to my FREE worksop Finding Dutch Flow, How Top Open The Floodgate To Dutch Fluency Simply go to http://www.talencoach.nl Read more

Yes! 2012 can bring fluent Dutch!

The beginning of a new year can be exciting because now it is the right time to use your imagination. It is the perfect time to think about what you really, really want. Once again, you can think of anything, as long as it feels good. What about learning a new language?

Let’s burst that bubble in 2012!

What about speaking fluent Dutch for example? Many feel that they are walking in some kind of bubble if they cannot understand what is going on in their surroundings. Apparently, this does not feel that good...

Wouldn’t it be a great idea to burst that bubble so that you can feel at ease wherever you go? Would you like that? If so, it may be wise to have this as a new year’s resolution!

But how can you make sure that your new plan will actually give you what you want? Most new year’s resolutions only seem to be a temporary form of daydreaming but, in reality, the next step is really simple: just create a step-by-step plan that you can follow.

Make sure, that there is a clear procedure and that you stick to it, and most important of all, avoid one classic mistake...

Just avoid this classic mistake

The biggest mistake that most people make when they want to learn a new language is that they start too slowly. They sign up for a language course, one evening a week, assuming that this will work. The truth is that in most cases, it won’t!

This has nothing to do with intelligence or being gifted for languages. The one essential ingredient that is often missing is momentum.

Have you ever wondered why the plane engines are running so fast in the beginning? Because you need a lot of energy and focus to take off but the good news is: once you are flying, then relatively little effort is needed.

With speaking a new language it works exactly the same!

The best way to save time!
