Group Classes
Small Group Classes for a personal touch, so that you can focus on speaking more and better.
Learn in a group & speak confidently
This approach helps you to work together in a group, getting to know more people in the community and to practice and learn with others. In this way you can understand and listen to different accents as well as talk to multiple people.
This approach is for you if you:
want to learn with others want to hear and be around different accents want to meet new and like-minded people are a people’s person! are on a tighter budget prioritise group conversations over 1:1 help and attention

Dutch Group Lessons Online
Group lessons are a great way to meet and speak with other people. Because there are different accents in the group, you’ll get used easily to understand Dutch better whilst talking about different daily conversation topics.
Classes are focused mostly on speaking while naturally learning new vocabulary and understanding grammar and pronounciation. Reading and writing are also included within your homework.
Speak Dutch as a second language
As a fanatic learner myself, I know what it is to learn a new language. That’s why I am patient and making learning fun so that you can recognise the language and structure the best way.
Lessons are one hour, include all material and are held on Zoom.
You can also choose to do group lessons with a friend or family member. Just simply enrol per person and motivate each other!

Questions?
What method do you use?
I use a blend of different methods based on the language level, goals and interests my students have. For adults I mostly use De Opmaat/De Sprong/De Finale as well as Spreektaal and Melkweg. For children I use Hotel Hallo, NT2 Praat Mee and Veilig Leren Lezen.
How do I know if I am a beginner or intermediate?
When in doubt, please reach out and we will have a chat to see which option is best for you.
In general, beginner classes are for anyone who hasn’t learned Dutch yet or wants to be able to make themselves clear in daily conversations. Intermediates are able to understand Dutch in daily conversations and create conversations on their own. You want to extend your vocabulary and deepen your knowledge and grammatical correctness.
What happens after the term has ended?
Like with anything you learn, you will need regular practice to keep growing. My classes are your gym for learning Dutch ;). I highly recommend to continue your classes for the terms to come. Not only to keep regular practice, but also because I’ve seen how much fun it is to practice with the same group. There is also a possibility to do holiday classes.
What happens if I can't make a class?
Lessons are always send to you (the day) after your class. This means you can view the lessons and self study the class so you are prepared for next week!
Where & when do classes take place?
I teach online via Zoom. That means I can teach you from literally anywhere in the world! Most of my students live in Australia (I’m from Melbourne!), but I do have students in other countries. Group classes are scheduled in the evening times for Australia, so you can easily join after work.
Can I pay in installments?
The group classes are a one payment only. However, if you do have financial difficulty and still want to join, send me an email to dutchwithjoyce@gmail.com to discuss. Money should never be in the way of learning!
I want my kids to learn Dutch, how does it work?
I love teaching kids and this is how I started out as a Dutch teacher. Kind of my jam!
I have kids enrolled in small groups after school time. If you kid(s) are on the same level, they would be more than happy to have new students joining along :). Fill out the intake form and I’ll get back to you with the possibilities!
Is there homework?
Homework is totally optional. I know most of my students lead beautiful, busy lives and are happy to have a lesson a week and focus on that.
You can build on where we left off in our group classes, however you will find that you’ll benefit doing some self-study at home when in a group setting. I do recommend to practice daily by using Duolingo, talking to a Dutch partner/family member etc. or put Dutch music or a podcast or video on. Happy to recommend you something!
