Learn Dutch faster and more effectively with the Delft Method
Completely online, with personal guidance and maximum speaking time
What is the Delft Method?
The Delft Method is designed to quickly build language skills, even for complex communication. At Suitcase talen, we apply this method entirely online, so you can learn anywhere in the world. From the first lesson, you’ll work exclusively with Dutch: no endless grammar explanations in English, but immediate understanding, speaking, and thinking in the new language.
How does it work?
- E-learning as a foundation Each module consists of carefully structured texts, listening exercises, and pronunciation training. You work independently through the material in your own time, with clear weekly goals.
- Two online conversation lessons per week In small groups, you actively practice speaking, reviewing, and expanding your knowledge. Each student gets plenty of speaking time, which accelerates the learning process. Modular system
- Modulair systeem
The method consists of 8 modules that together cover levels A1, A2, and B1. You pay per 5-week module and, after passing the final exam, choose whether to progress to the next level.
Why this method works
- You immediately learn to use the language in everyday and professional situations
- You remember words and structures better through repetition and active application
- You develop listening and speaking skills faster than with traditional methods
- Scientifically proven and successfully applied in Dutch as a Second Language (NT2) education for decades.
