Dive head first into Dutch
Take a walk on the wild side!
With Lingua Foris, you can venture off the well-beaten track of conventional language learning and strike out on a new path…..and we mean that quite literally! In town or village, museum or library! Wherever you want to be, it should be where you feel happy and relaxed – somewhere away from the confines of your PC or tablet screen. Your chosen location connects you and your tutor to the outside world as, together, you explore the Dutch language. Let the magic begin!
We limit our meetings to no more than two students per tutor; this allows us to maximise the opportunities for conversation on the part of each participant.
Killing two birds with one stone….
Walking provides mental stimulation and supplies the brain with valuable oxygenation, improving the learner’s capacity to absorb and assimilate new information. We limit our sessions to two students per tutor, thereby combining personalised tutoring with the advantages of learning in your chosen environment.
In the countryside, our caravan is our home.
This is our lovely vintage Kip Caravan from 1980. We’ve restored and carefully converted it into a cosy learning hub! Here, we’ll introduce you to your learning experience. We also use the caravan to evaluate your progress and provide you with useful feedback after our walks. You don’t go to school….school comes to you!
Our courses
Details of the different Dutch immersion programmes we offer are shown below. Ours is not a ‘one size fits all ‘ approach – our courses are carefully tailored to suit your needs, improve your language proficiency and meet your expectations. Walking, however, remains the common thread. We’ll stroll together with Dutch as our companion – you’ll learn on the move without even being aware of it!
We strongly advise that you contact us, in order that we might establish which course will be most suitable for your needs.
Give your Dutch a boost with our Saturday morning walks! During the walk, students relax and learn to express themselves more spontaneously in the target language. Our goal is for you to ‘forget’ that you’re speaking Dutch and allow you to rediscover the fun of language.
Boost your Dutch with this day programme! We bring the caravan to your chosen location and encourage you to converse in Dutch to enrich your experience of the language. We then go outside to get both mind and body moving and you conversing freely!
Residential learning with overnight stays. Over a period of three to five days, you will be encouraged to converse in Dutch only. We’ll have additional time to discover the city or countryside and talk over a meal! Includes additional study of the lexical and grammatical aspects of Dutch.
Faced with a new professional challenge in a Dutch speaking company? We can arrange to visit you in your own country for preparatory tutoring, so you won’t be all at sea in your new role!
About Us
We are both passionate about language, having enjoyed long careers teaching Dutch. Our experience has enriched our pedagogic vision and has prompted us to envisage a more dynamic, people-centred, creative and result-oriented teaching method. We’d love to share it with you; we think you’ll love it!
