Positive responses
33,000 participants from across the world registered for the first Introduction to Dutch MOOC. We have had many positive responses:
-
"Sincerely this is one of the best language online courses I have attended. It is all very simple and easy to get and practice. As a linguist I find no remarks for now. So good luck and Godspeed to all of you vriende!”
-
“The course goes at a good pace and, of course, anything you haven't quite understood you have the opportunity to review. Dank u veel voor uw help!”
-
“It's going well so far. The course is well structured and I think it is also a matter of practice as some words and phrases need to be internalised before moving on with the further teaching material.”
