Our Students, Amazing Results

Ik ben lid van de Neadertales online gemeenschap en ik heb de online cursus gedaan. Ik kan de kwaliteit van het onderwijs van harte aanbevelen.
Max was heel flexibel met het schema en vond de juiste groep voor mijn niveau..

This is the first time I’ve really noticed a big improvement. Not just in my Dutch skills, but also in my confidence to actually speak the language. The method from his book and podcast is brilliant, and Max’s lessons are insanely entertaining. He’s such a great teacher! Hartelijk bedankt!

A fantastic place to learn not only more about Dutch the language, but Dutch the culture and Dutch the people :D Would strongly recommend if you're interested in Dutch.

Alan Astbury (Northern Ireland)

After starting my courses with Neandertales I've been feeling more confident talking Dutch elsewhere.

This style of classes suits me the best as I am not interested in the grammatical rules (I don't plan to become a Dutch professor).

The classes cover many interesting topics related to (Dutch) culture, general themes such as TV/media/news, movies, architecture which makes them quite engaging.

So far I've had two different professors and they've also been excellent.

I had a really great experience learning Dutch with this teacher. The classes were always friendly, comfortable, and easy to follow. The teaching method feels very natural, which made learning much more enjoyable and less stressful. They are patient, supportive, and explain everything clearly. I definitely feel more confident with Dutch now. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn Dutch in a relaxed and effective way!

Awantika (India)

Classes from Max (and Mandy) have had a hugely positive impact on my Dutch learning journey. For the first time I feel like I am making progress and gaining confidence. The classes are fun, and the time goes very quickly, it is easy to log on from home, even if you are tired after work. Mandy is a fantastic teacher; she is very patient and kind, she gives corrections gently, and she never interrupts.

Phoebe (England)

I'm writing this in English but could just as easily in Dutch now!
The natural method of learning is fantastic. It's challenging and never boring. Homework never feels like a chore. Absolutely no grammar, no long lists of context-less vocabulary to learn by heart.
And it works : with no other more classic Dutch lessons, I was able to pass the NT2 B2 Stadsexamen. I went from B1 to B2 in less than a year.
I had two different teachers in my courses and they were both great. Classes are with small groups which makes lessons cozy. I'd honestly look forward to my lessons every week.

Isabel Jana (France)

I joined the tribe and later discovered Max by chance while searching online for audio resources to help me learn Dutch. Since then, I’ve been extremely happy—both academically and personally.

🇳🇱 Ik heb besloten om de methode van Max te volgen. Eind januari 2026 ben ik zelf begonnen met zijn boek. Later heb ik me ingeschreven voor zijn intensieve cursus, twee dagen per week.
We zijn nu midden in juni en ik kan dit in het Nederlands schrijven. Dat vind ik een groot succes.
Wat denk jij?

🇬🇧 I decided to follow Max’s method. At the end of January 2026 I started on my own with his book. Later I signed up for his intensive course, two days a week.
Now it is mid-June and I can write this in Dutch. I think that is a great success.
What do you think?

María Ezgurra (Spain)

I am an English teacher and Max was my Dutch teacher for a long time. Hé is the best. As a language teacher I think his teaching approach and methods are perfect. You can start speaking at the beginning of the course while reading and listening.I recommend his course strongly to everyone who wants to learn Dutch in a natural way.
