About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hey!
I am Malou, graduated as a japanologist at Ghent University in 2019. I recently moved to Leuven, where I am completing my second study in music. Despite that new twist, Japan has continued to be a big part of my life. I am lucky enough to still speak Japanese every day with the friend I made here, and to experience unique adventures every now and then. For example, I was an interpreter at the Olympic Games with the Belgian team and I translated for Eiko Ishibashi at the World Soundtrack Awards.
I would like to share my pleasure in speaking the language with other people.

After taking evening Japanese lessons many years ago, I wanted to freshen up and go on a trip to Japan. Malou had a plan ready... First repetition of the basics, then lessons focused on traveling. In addition to an interesting lesson, Malou regularly keeps you alert with WhatsApp messages in Japanese to ask the hour, etc. You can also send a photo of the exercises you have completed, which are quickly improved during the week.

Japanese is a beautiful language, but how do you get started? Reading, speaking, and writing each come with their own difficulties that are quite different from what we're accustomed to in European languages. I'm more than happy to provide you with Japanese lessons tailored to what you want to learn. Would you like to... master the basics in preparation of travelling to Japan? prepare for higher studies Japanese? learn to listen and read? I'm here to assist you with that! I believe anyone looking to learn a new language should engage with it daily. That's why learning Japanese in Belgium can be tricky! For those who are interested, I offer extra practice sessions and tips throughout the week to help you master Japanese as quickly as possible. 一緒に頑張りましょう!

Dutch conversation for kids and adults, to read, to write and understand the language.
In our class we will be relaxed, I will help you with the Dutch conversation, the grammar, reading (like an article or a topic what I will give you). I will help students for beginners-lower-intermediate level. After every lesson I will give you homework for the next lesson. Between the two lessons you can always ask me a question about the subject what we’ve discussed. If you have a subject what you’d like to learn about the Dutch language, let me know. I’m looking forward to see you in my class.

Dynamic Dutch courses with a smiling native speaker ;-)
I use several methods which are specially conceived to teach Dutch to people who have a different mother tongue. I really like to use methods out of the ordinary like role games or methods with which you learn while playing. All these adapted to the student's situation of course. As I learned myself a couple of other languages, it is easy for me to detect difficulties a student can encounter and adapt the way of learning. I can teach in English, French, German and Russian.

Rosemarie

Learn Dutch in a short time - experienced coach (24 years of experience) State Exam NT2 trainer - inspired to teach Dutch to expats
A qualified language coach with 24 years of experience offers intensive Dutch lessons in a small class or online. I give many Dutch NT2 lessons to expats and in preparation for an integration exam. Specialized in guiding for the State Exam I and II. Special exam coach. In January 2025 I will also start with groups again. We have a great classroom in the center of Rotterdam, near metro station Beurs, lessons with small homogeneous groups (little difference in level). We mainly go for quality and not just running a lesson. I am really involved in the progress of the student. In addition to teaching, I want to do everything to really motivate students to take the next step. That is my strength! You can also choose the online lesson package with Whereby, Teams or Zoom in a comfortable way. Online classes are one-on-one or maximum one-on-two, for better results. My English is fluent, as well as Portuguese and Spanish. I understand the difficulties of overcoming barriers for Latin languages and for expats in general, as I have also been an expat. Online lessons last 75 minutes once a week for 10 weeks to reach a higher level. This is the normal speed. Including exam training (A-2 or Staatsexamen) and exam at the end. Intensive training ? That can also be done in five to ten full days, I am used to giving these very intensive trainings to CEOs or managers who want it faster and more intensive ... all lessons within 3 or 4 weeks. Based on the European system A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 and C-1 As soon as students want to further improve their knowledge of Dutch, I always advise and coach them to take the State Exam I or II, the only formal Certificate in this country, recognized by employers and universities. I will try to switch to conversation after a few lessons, to put your knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Don't get too caught up in the grammar. Teaching is my ultimate passion and even after 24 years it feels like the first time and students always feel inspired to overcome the obstacles. I also teach you about Dutch social culture, which is intertwined in the course and is strongly related to the language.
