‘I like online classes, and see no need for offline’ says Marina. In January 2022 she started her online studies in Almere. After a summer break, she continued the Duch conversation classes from Eindhoven- up to level B1
Module 2 students about online classes and the learning materials
Michal, May 2022
I think studying with e-learning en online conversation classes is a good method to learn the Dutch language, NT2. I must talk a lot in class.
Sometimes I just forget, at the end of class, to ask questions to the teacher.

The self-study with e-learning is working well. I found the schedule that I can follow after work.
Now, after Module 2, I noticed that I can understand much more when I read or listen to something.
What I like less about this e-learning is that there is a lack of grammar and sentence-making exercises
‘What I like less about this e-learning is that there is a lack of grammar and sentence-making exercises’, Anton says, in August 2022.
For the rest, I think that self-study with e-learning is okay for The Delft method .
(Suitcase talen: More students are complaining about that, and because of that Suitcase talen added two optional grammar modules. In the A2 and B1 grammar modules, students prepare their class by writing grammar exercises in Suitcase talen worksheets, and in class, we do sentence-making exercises.

Studying with e-learning and having conversation classes with Zoom, is a very comfortable way of studying because you can choose your own time to study and practice it during the lesson.
And also I think that our group is very lucky with the teacher – Margreet always gives so much attention to everyone and cares about every detail
And also I think that our group is very lucky with the teacher – Margreet always gives so much attention to everyone and cares about every detail – for example, she advised us on how we to join the lesson better (technically)
She even worried about if I feel comfortable talking with a student of another nationality (because of the war) = so sweet ❤️

I think that in small groups (4 students) it is good. I am not sure how well I would understand the lessons if there were more students per group.
Unfortunately, The time is quite tight on the zoom lessons.
All in all, I think that I am quite lucky with the group, everyone seems to be motivated to learn. I think everything is good, at least for now.

Self-study with e-learning is very helpful. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to join all the conversational classes, but at least I could follow the course and study texts by myself which is very nice.
However, grammar is a bit out of scope in this method.
Besides, lessons on Monday and Wednesday are quite close to each other, so not much time left to prepare the second text, and the beginning of each week is quite intense especially if you combine the course with work.
Because of my business trip, I’ll be joining from the airport today
One additional question – because of my business trip I’ll be joining from the airport today and it’s quite loud here. Can I join and at least listen to the class? Not sure if I’ll be able to speak properly and if everyone can hear me.
Suitcase talen: it pretty often happens that students join the class from the airport. In case the airport is Schiphol: there are two cabins there for this purpose. As only a few people know that they exist, they generally are available- and comfortable!
In other airports a headphone and distance from other passengers are indispensable.
Xena, October 2022
I like to study with e-learning and online conversation classes, it’s efficient and suits my busy schedule. It works for me.
But, when you ask me what I miss in de Delftse methode: in the e-learning might be a bit more explanation on the grammar.
E-learning is quite good, it allows you to hear, learn and repeat words and sentences
First: E-learning is quite good, it allows you to hear, learn and repeat words and sentences. Self-study can be tricky, and I spend quite a lot of time, says Denis, in November 2022.
On the other hand, I have some problems with the pronunciation step which doesn’t always understand names and numbers. Moreover, I must learn the texts (almost) by heart.
Second: I would like a bit of grammar for compound verbs like ‘afwassen’, ‘opnemen’, ‘oversteken’ etc. Suitcase talen: when asked for, the teacher explains on the whiteboard at the end of the conversation class.
Unfortunately, I decided to quit due to a lack of time. I would like to continue self-study with e-learning but at a slower pace. I will be missing the conversation group
