‘The e-learning helps with my busy schedule’ Shervin comments in March 2024.
After each module, Suitcase talen asks the students for feedback on specific parts of the Delft method. After Module 2 we focus on the The Delft method is fasterDelft method e-learning.
Shervin continues his feedback:
I have easy access to the materials online and
the pronunciation of each word is in nt2school.
E-learning is convenient
Later, in May 2024, Roberto writes: E-learning is convenient.
I like that I don’t need to spend time traveling to the class and as soon as the class has finished I am at home.
Additionally, I can travel and still attend some classes if it is a short trip.
Roberto’s classmate Philip agrees about the Delft method e-learning:
I like that it is very easy to find the time to go to lessons. There is no commuting. This makes it very easy to schedule.
I also like that there is an emphasis on preparation and self-study as it makes me think in a more structured manner about the language.
Ina, in October 2024, mentions another aspect:
I like the Delft method e-learning because it is step-by-step and
it helps me have a routine for each lesson
And Ina’s classmate Binh adds:
E-learning can be taken anytime easily. Freedom to learn anytime.
What do you like less about e-learning?
March 2024 student Shervin is critical about the translation tool. His comment:
Using the translation tool sometimes different meanings of a word are not used at their correct place which can be confusing. Luckily, Shervind adds:
Overall, I am positive about the e-learning.
Roberto says, in May 2024: I dislike nothing specifically. So far we haven’t had any connectivity issues, the sound and image always worked fine. Regarding the Delftse methode material, it is already planned to be used in that way, it works quite well.
Overall, I am Positive. In my current personal setting, it wouldn’t be possible to have classes if it weren’t using e-learning.
Roberto’s classmate Philip mentions:
I think it is sometimes easy to forget about the online lessons and I find myself preparing at the last minute.
I am very positive and I am finding the Delft method very helpful.
In the e-learning, Ina is struggling when she records her pronunciation
In the e-learning, Ina is struggling when she records her pronunciation:
When I record myself it sometimes records different things and it gets stuck sometimes. So it takes more time to finish my lesson.
Of course, Suitcase talen gave a piece of advice on how to overcome the recording problem – which is a pronunciation problem:
When the recorder gets stuck on your pronunciation in Nederlands voor anderstaligen materials, it is because you are mispronouncing some Dutch sounds.
Try again, but this time record one sentence at a time, and listen it back immediately.
When you find your first mistake, retry just that one sound, until the recorder and you are happy.
If you have time left, you try another pronunciation mistake. Record yourself again and again. If the recorder does not accept your pronunciation, ask the teacher in class!
Work slowly and systematically on your pronunciation. In the end not only the recorder will understand you, but the Dutch as well!
The E-learning helps with my busy schedule, but there is not much Grammar
Binh is Ina’s classmate. Binh’s Dutch pronunciation is flawless and the e-learning helps him with his busy schedule, but when he is asked what he likes less in The Delft method he mentions:
There is not a lot of Grammar in the e-learning. At this point, I think I need more grammar.
Comment Suitcase talen :
For students who need more grammar, Suitcase talen developed two optional Grammar Modules: one at level A2 and one at level B1.
In the grammar modules, the teacher’s explanation is simple and clear. Students prepare each grammar subject, with written exercises. In the online class, the teacher answers your questions. Moreover, we exercise the subject orally during class.
