Learn Dutch & live in your private teacher's home around Amsterdam with Home Language International! Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Dutch lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Netherlands. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI. You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Dutch lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Amsterdam. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Dutch. All of our teachers in Netherlands have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Amsterdam, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful. Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.

Taalthuis was founded by Margreet van 't Haaff in 2006. Margreet studied Dutch language and literature at the University of Leiden. When she had finished her studies she worked for ten years as a communications expert in both business and education.
As a mother of three children, she started to teach Dutch to expats in her own house. Her au pair also wanted to learn Dutch and meet other au pairs at the same time. She then decided to develop a course tailored to the situation of the au pair.
Since 2006 hundreds of au pairs and expats learned Dutch at Taalthuis. Margreet develops all the lesson materials of Taalthuis.
