I took Dutch lessons here and the teachers were wonderful: attentive, patient, and genuinely invested in your progress. I still come back for their language exchange events at Pacific in Amsterdam, and they're always well organized and welcoming. It's a safe, relaxed environment where you meet students and all kinds of interesting expats, which makes practicing a lot more fun than it sounds. I especially recommend the conversational mini courses, which are a great way to build confidence speaking. Highly recommended for anyone learning Dutch in Amsterdam!

I had the best Dutch course experience with Joshua. Before I was really hesitating to speak Dutch and could only express myself in simple conversations. However, after one year with Joshua I could handle much deeper topics and express myself with ease. I cannot thank Joshua enough for the amazing energy during the course and for the progress that he helped me achieve in mastering Dutch.

My Language Corner lessons with Martin Landsburg were really good. He is an excellent teacher: patient, encouraging, positive, supportive and has a great sense of humour, which is quite important when you are a teacher. It is quite clear that he has had a lot of relevant teaching experience and that he cares and takes ownership of his role. I hope I will be able to continue my lessons with Martin, as soon as my professional life is settled and organised.

The lessons are engaging, interactive, and well structured, which makes learning English both effective and enjoyable. I also really appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to meet students from different countries. Everyone at the school is kind and helpful, creating a very positive environment for learning and speaking English with confidence.

I am happy to share my experience as student at Language Corner with anyone who is aiming to boost their Dutch language skills. I had 1:1 classes and I highly recommend my teacher Joshua: after an assessment of my level of Dutch, Joshua has actively listened and understood my goals. Joshua has been able to tailor and customize lessons specifically on my needs. I appreciated Joshua’s competence, empathy, patience and care throughout all lessons. The study material, the grammar references, the exercises, the corrections on mistakes and the feedback on area of improvements are some of the features that made this course among the best I have ever had. Thanks to Joshua supporting approach I won my initial lack of confidence and embarrassment on kicking off a conversation in Dutch. In addition, the whole team at Language Corner has been friendly and positive when checking in for the lessons and when interacting at the student evening meetings to practice Dutch. Yes, Language Corner is organizing regular students “meet & fun & practice” evening together with Dutch native speakers. What a great idea to learn while sharing a drink and some fun time with people from all over the world! Moreover, I enjoyed as well the venue where the lessons took place: Language Corner is located not far from beautiful Westerpark, classrooms are well designed and equipped with projectors. Bedankt, Joshua! Je bent top docent! Dankzij onze lessen voel ik me nu zelfverzekerd genoeg om Nederlands te spreken en ben ik gemotiveerd om mijn Nederlands verder te blijven oefenen en te verbeteren. Je bent een heel getalenteerde en bekwame docent! Tot de volgende cursus! Enrico Aluisi

The history of Language Corner

Language Corner is founded by Isabel Contreras and Eric van Heesen in 2015. After being an English teacher for 5 years in Chile, Isabel moved to Amsterdam where she soon started giving English lessons to Spanish speaking people.

When more students came in, Language Corner was born. Because of Eric’s Dutch background and Isabel’s Latin roots the school focuses teaching English, Dutch & Spanish.

For the first students ‘feeling comfortable’ was one of the major reasons to choose for the cozy atmosphere of Language Corner. Some years later, Language Corner has over 35 teachers and two locations in Amsterdam. But we still want to give our students that comfortable and personal feeling. Because every person has a different goal to learn a language.

Based in Amsterdam

Language Corner is based in Amsterdam, a truly international city where learning the local language helps you feel more at home. We welcome students from all over the world who want to improve their Dutch, English or Spanish while living, studying or working in the city.

Our courses can take place online or at our locations in Amsterdam. Whether you prefer learning in a small group or through private lessons, we offer flexible options that make it easy to combine language learning with daily life in Amsterdam.
