I know that Zamaradi would not exist if it weren’t for you and your (soon-to-be!) incredible journey towards learning the Dutch language. I am fully committed to giving you the most pleasant learning experience possible. As a Dutch teacher, my passion lies with making you love the language as much as I do.

I did L2-6 with Emeraude and agree with all the positive reviews posted online. Not only is Emeraude an effective Dutch teacher, I am very impressed with how quickly she switched her in-class lessons to online within such short notice. She structure her lessons in an easy-to-understand manner and the speaking exercises are very effective. When I express my interest to do the Inburgeringsexamen, she introduced me to 2 other students, grouped us together so we can encourage one another & share the cost. Emeraude is truly a teacher who cares for her students, and for that I'm immensely grateful. Not only have I gained more confidence with my Dutch, I have also developed a deeper appreciation of the Dutch culture. Thanks Emeraude 🙃🙂

This is a great Dutch course! The groups are small, so there is a lot of opportunity to speak, write, and have individual feedback. I took the first 3 levels earlier this year, and am now taking levels 4-6 online because of the coronavirus outbreak. Even online, the class is very interactive and has helped me learn a lot in a short time. Emeraude is an excellent teacher, I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Dutch or improve their Dutch!

If you want to learn Dutch fast and easily you definitely MUST go to ZAMARADI courses. I can't imagine better way to learn Dutch. Emeraude is the best teacher that I've ever had, She is the most professional Professional 🙂 I took only four levels, but I'm already able to read books (small children stories) speak about easy things and understand speech! I'm really thankful for friendly atmosphere and good lessons! Really recommend you only Zamaradi Dutch Courses with Emeraude! P. S. She has cookies 😉

Everyone looking for a dutch course should look no further. The teaching method is modern and not conventional like in traditional schools. The schedules fit with a busy job. Also the teacher, Emeraude, is very kind and attentive. Overall a great experience and will continue with my advanced level soon!

Detailed course, full of practice along with a great, warm and kind mentor ... the online classes held recently due to the outbreak of corona virus were highly effective and convenient, especially the class video recording sent at the end of each session helped in class revision, assessing ourselves and in understanding any points missed during the class. One is sure to excel their language skills at this place. I wish that online classes continue at this institute in the future as well....

If you're looking for a really interactive Dutch course that is really great! There is a huge amount of learning material packed into each level, for a pretty reasonable price. In the past two weeks I attended levels 7 and 8 together with other 5 students with a very different background. It was really an interesting and stimulating experience. The group is very small and this gives you the opportunity to be more personally involved. Every skill is implemented: Listening, Reading, Writing and above all Speaking and Emeraude helps you find the right approach to learn Dutch.

I did beginners level 1, 2 and 3 with Zamaradi Dutch Courses, and for someone who’s not a natural with languages I was so happy with my progress! The lessons are well planned and structured, and Emeraude is a very patient, inclusive and knowledgeable teacher. Highly recommend.

I was absolutely happy to find Zamaradi Dutch course! I’ve done two levels - from A2 to B1, and the next level from B1 to B2. I really feel that my language skills have improved. The classes were intense (2 hours per day) and most of the time we were speaking in Dutch, discussing actual news and interesting articles, accompanied with greatly structured and well explained grammar. The class size is big enough to have a nice conversation but not too big to have enough opportunity to practice your own speaking skills. Emeraude, the teacher is a language geak with great passion to teaching and genuine love to the Dutch language, which she was generously sharing with students. I highly recommend this course!

I have done the intermediate and advanced courses at Zamaradi, and they’ve been by far the best language courses I’ve taken. Emeraude is a fantastic teacher with a truly contagious passion for the Dutch language. The small groups give everybody plenty of room to speak and the intensive nature of the course makes you progress really fast. I can’t recommend Zamaradi enough.

I would love to say the biggest ''Thanks'' to Emeraude because she is the best teacher ever. I have tried many schools before and after Zamaradi Communications but all the time my heart was lost with her. In less than 4 months time I could speak fluent Dutch and I have (almost) zero problems with communication in this language. She has built the whole grammar part in me, brought so much understanding of the language and all the time stayed positive and motivating. The most beautiful thing about Emeraude is her work passion. She is one of those people for whom their work = hobby.

Vorige week I embarked on an online Zoom journey with Emeraude and 4 others to pick up Dutch again. I think we were all worried that the current situation may make learning more difficult - but the (Level 1) class worked so well that I almost forgot that we weren't in a physical space together! Emeraude was quick to adapt to the new format - not only making use of all the great features that Zoom has to offer (whiteboard, chat, mute etc.) but also putting everyone at ease with her warm and friendly nature. What I loved most about her classes was the clarity and efficiency of the teaching (I learnt a lot but didn't tune out once), the small size (allowing for individual attention and time for questions), the sense of 'doing this together' (e.g we were asked to write our answers/sentences in the chat feature and hit 'send' all at once) and the daily huiswerk tasks which really helped me nail the rules and revise the right things. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, I couldn't recommend Zamaradi more.

Emeraude is someone very experienced on teaching Dutch, the class goes smoothly and at the end of the class you always get the sensation that you are progressing, you don't feel overload and she makes everyone feel welcome into the Dutch culture, I highly recommend Zamaradi Dutch courses either physical or online (I took online due coronavirus holidays), anyway this is a great option for those who wants to learn. Thanks Emeraude.

I tottaly recommend Zamaradi (and Prof Emeraud) to anyone who wants to learn or boost their Dutch skills! If you are afraid because it is a group class and you think you aren't going to have a teacher who pays full attention to you, don't worry! Prof Emeraude creates an amazing atmosphere between students and, even though it is a online group lesson (because of the coronavirus situation), you actually interact and speak a lot and you feel like it's a private lesson because she pays attention to each student!! An absolutely wonderful course! I learned a lot! Thanks again!

Such a great course! Really improves your level of Dutch language. Both grammar and speaking. Highly recommend it.

Emeraude is a very good teacher and I am very happy with the result of this course. Het is een aanrader! 😃

Zamaradi is a great language school! I took three weeks of Dutch lessons with Zamaradi and I am very happy with the experience. Emeraude is a very good teacher and she manages to convey the Dutch language in a very fun and effective way. The classes covered all the important aspects of speaking, writing, reading and listening and Emeraude makes sure that all the participants get enough time to communicate with each other in Dutch and work on the skills that are needed in everyday life. She was also very attentive to individual needs of the students. I felt very comfortable and I would recommend this Dutch course to anyone!

Zamaradi is the best Dutch course that you can find! it's affordable and most importantly it REALLY WORKS! the concept of the course is great and it allows you to start speaking the language really fast. the focus of the course is on grammar and speaking and things that in the past seemed like dark magic suddenly become clear 😉 I feel that I improved a lot and I am finally dare to have spontaneous conversations in Dutch. I would definitely recommend it to everyone, you won't regret it!

If you are living in the Amsterdam and the Randstad region or even just planning to visit the Netherlands and fancy learning Dutch, this is the place to go. I have attended various language courses in different languages and this was by far the best. The classes are intimate with no more than 6 participants and the teacher, Emeraude is one of the most patient teachers I have ever met, clearly explaining the grammar and correcting your mistakes. The course material is excellent and created by Emeraude personally. I look forward to participating in more classes in order to refresh and keep up my level of Dutch.

Het was echt spannend! Ik ben heel dankbaar voor alle lessen. Als je het Nederlands wil te leren, moet je naar Zamaradi communications gaan! Geen twijfel.

Emeraude is an outstanding teacher because she explains grammar so well. She also corrects your speaking mistakes calmly, consistently and patiently, so that very soon you stop making basic errors that are holding you back from being understood. I felt I made much more progress in her small classes than I did in other courses. 5 out of 5 🙂

Het was echt een leuke cursus. Ik vond het heel goed dat we ons op grammatica en spreekoefeningen hebben gefocust. De docent heeft altijd opgelet dat we ook alles juist uitspreken.
