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.

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. As far as comparisons with other language tools, I’m a consistent Duolingo player. But though I could read words felt it really did not help me much with speaking. With even the Survival phrases I was able to use each lesson daily for both speaking and reading. 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!
