LOOM: a linguistic approach to European language learning for life
من 160.06 AED /س
Please note: This course is ONLY for native English speakers (or those with a high level of English).
In this 10-lesson course you will learn concepts and strategies for learning Dutch (and any European language). We will investigate and practice the many ways you can leverage native English speaking for rapidly learning Dutch. This course will leave you inspired and interested in foreign languages. The priority is on increasing your confidence in speaking a second language in daily life and to provide tools for independently learning Dutch.
LOOM is inspired by both the classic work on language learning The Loom of Language (1923), and the joy of watching children learn languages first hand.
This course is especially useful for:
- Those frustrated by conventional approaches to learning language
- Those with a bad memory for words
- Those who enjoy playing with language and meaning
- Those who prefer thinking and understanding over rote learning
Please note: You do not need to commit to all 5 lessons in advance. First book a single lesson and see if this approach works for you.
About me:
I am a scientist by training and studied at Oxford and received my PhD from Cambridge. I currently work as a research scientist at Utrecht University and teach Dutch in my spare time. I have a passion for learning Dutch and finding hidden connections across languages, which I share with others. I am a native English speaker and very competent Dutch speaker (C1 level) - so I have personal experience of learning Dutch as an adult (and the challenges faced).

من أنا؟
I'm an Anglo-Dutch scientist living in Utrecht with my (Dutch) wife and our two children.
I have learnt Dutch as a second language and am familiar with the challenges native English speakers face. I have many passions, and one of those is supporting native English speakers gain confidence in language learning and leverage all the advantages of fluent English for learning European languages.
Alongside biology my interests include: reading, climbing, chess, art, travel.
