"I just wanted to say how thrilled I have been with the improvement in my Dutch language in recent months. It really has been a challenge, applying myself to study again twenty years after I left school, but I certainly feel that your methods have contributed greatly to my ability to learn and retain information"
Simon Poole (UK)
"Albert stands out from language teachers I have had previously that his focus is much more on giving you the skills needed to manage your own learning than on teaching set material. The lessons are structured around a mixture of alternative methods and entertaining presentations. Albert does not waste time in the lesson doing things with you that you can easily do outside of the lesson with study aids / friends"
Anna Littlejohn (UK)
"I have studied with Albert Both Talencoach and the results speak for themselves. The best thing is that people now reply to me in Dutch rather than in English!"
David Mackail (Scotland)
"Albert has a unique way of teaching Dutch. He worked with me to discover some of the real reasons I was struggling with speaking the language. It had nothing to do with the language, but more about some personal issues that I was having with myself. I would recommend Albert to anyone wanting o learn to speak a new language, especially those who need to break down the wall of resistance"

"The process behind learning a new language is not foreign to me. I have studied a total of 4 foreign languages so far and the Talencoach classes have been a unique experience"
Karina Hoff (USA)
"As a newcomer to the Netherlands I initially enrolled in a very traditional language course and to my disappointment was never satisfied. The course material was very dry and the teaching method unstimulating so I therefore didn´t acquire a lot of the language skills that I was seeking. I was pleasantly surprised by the more unconventional approach offered at Talancoach as it is very fun and stimulating. It renewed my eagerness to learn Dutch and has enabled me to retain much more information"

"My friends are sick of me promoting Albert but I have noticed their admiration when I can hold a conversation and enjoy a bit of banter with a local. That has been a big thing for me, being able to have a laugh with Dutch people on the street. I think Albert will be famous one day for his insights into learning a language" Fiona Canning (New Zealand)
"The most important thing is that I no longer see learning as a difficult chore... Through your innovative tools & techniques you´ve shown me how enjoyable this can be"
James Afolalu (Nigeria)
"I frequently need to read Dutch documents at work and the lessons have already helped me understand the essence of those materials. Outside of work, I also find that my understanding of Dutch has improved significantly in just one month, and I now feel comfortable in many everyday situations"
