	Donald G. I enjoy having a program that I am able to follow along as I lack the discipline to establish my own study path, especially when it comes to deciding which material I should study. Thus far the resources for each lesson have been fulfilling and helpful in reaching all main skills (listening, speaking, reading) with my Dutch, I’m pleasantly impressed!
	Jendaya McAlees I am currently using DutchPod101 to help me start my journey on becoming fluent in the Dutch language. So far I have had an easier time learning due to the resources provided in the program and being able to hear conversations spoken in that language. I’ve tried to learn different languages in other programs such as duolingo but they didn’t work well for me.
	User This is the best language app I have ever used! And I have used 6 or 7 so far. I am looking for rapid ability to speak conversationally with friends. I DON’T want my lessons focused on travel (hotel, airport, cafe) How is the airport relevant when you are making smalltalk with a friend? I don’t travel, so I’m totally frustrated with these apps. Also I want to listen and speak. I want to hear native speakers. I want phrases and sentences. I’m on the fast track now and I love it!
	Linda Hancks I purchased the DutchPod101 premium lessons and the program has exceeded my expectations. I live in the United States and my boyfriend’s family is from the Netherlands. This Fall I am visiting the Netherlands and hope to please my potential in-laws with my knowledge of their language. DutchPod101 also given me a better understanding of Dutch culture and their way of thinking. I have started learning with the Survival Phrases and each lesson is short and entertaining. I have DutchPod101 to thank if we marry and have a happy ever after.
	Silvia Davila DutchPod101 has helped me learn everyday new words and phrases. I love to hear the sound of it and I can practice it everyday.
	Batuhan Uslu DutchPod101 is really helpful but due to my own time restrictions i can’t use it a lot these days. Vocabulary with example sentences are my favorite, generally I forget vocabulary easily but after reading sentences it becomes easier. Also, pronunciation is really helpful.

	Yuki Maeshima I’m an expat living and working in Amsterdam. I have to learn Dutch for daily life, but I have no time to go to school regularly. Podcasts from DutchPod101 are easy and handy lessons for me. I listen to them on my iPhone every morning for 10-15min, while getting dressed or putting on make-up. Lessons are short, but have improved my Dutch naturally, especially my hearing skills. Very difficult Dutch pronunciations have now become familiar. I also like the new “boot camp” series. The story line and brief grammar comments make the lessons more understandable and memorable!
	Edwin Fonseca DutchPod101 lessons actually helped me help someone in the airport a few weeks ago when I was travelling to the Netherlands for my spring break. When I was in line proceeding through security, I noticed a woman in front of me had a Netherlands issued passport and so I asked her where she was from. It was clear that the woman did not understand me because she just smiled back. After proceeding through security, the same woman approached me and it appeared as though she was asking for help in getting to her terminal. She could not read or speak any English. After going through the basic introductions (a lesson I had learned from DutchPod101), I told her I would do my best to help. With the terminal information she had provided me, I asked an airport employee if he could write down the directions to the woman’s terminal. Once I had these directions, I used my DutchPod101 directional skills (I had learned this from survival phrases #31) to translate the information for the woman. The woman was very grateful for the help I had provided, and I was very proud of myself for communicating in a language that I had just began to learn a few weeks prior to. Thank you DutchPod101!
	Pawel Hallo allemaal, Ik heb begonnen te leren het nederlands in 2010 waneer was ik in Nederlands. Now I’d like to improve my level and pass CNaVT certificate. I started to learn thanks to my employee lessons programme. Then, I also learned myself and on private lessons. I’m back to my country now - Poland, but I haven’t stopped. I hope - thanks to DutchPod101 - my level will improve day by day. My goals are to gain B2 level, and use it at work and to run my business. Success
	Bill Young I just came back from holiday in Amsterdam and have to tell you how pleased I am with DutchPod101 and the Innovative language app. Even though many people over there speak excellent English (Engels😉 ) they were so delighted to hear me attempt Dutch. It made the travel experience so much better. The breadth of questions were very well rounded. As I was at a technical conference I was surprised to find your section on working with computers. That is well beyond any other program I’ve seen. Kudos to Jacob and Mies for making the series so engaging. I especially enjoyed the “Challenging Foods” lesson which I used to joke with some of the people with in the Netherlands. That I could pull off some jokes in Dutch in such a short time is pretty incredible. Regarding the whole Innovative App experience, it is so fantastic to have such a vast number of languages to study. I plan to continue my Dutch but looking forward to other languages for further trips. I first heard about the Pod101 tools when my cousin went to Japan years ago and he raved about it. With the number of languages you provide I will be working with you for future adventures. Thank you! Dank u well!
