Dutch Facts
Dutch pronunciation is often complex for non-native speakers, with many diphthongs and gutturals

Those who would benefit the most from these Dutch tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Dutch to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Dutch, as well as survival Dutch should a visit to the country be necessary.

These Dutch lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Dutch by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Dutch to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Dutch culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Dutch exam.

Bristol
With a population of 400,000 people, Bristol is not only a city, but also a unitary authority and ceremonial county in southwest England. For 5 centuries it was the second or third largest city in England, until the Industrial Revolution sparked many other cities to grow exponentially. Bristol remains one of the centres of culture, education and employment in the region. Traditionally gaining economic success via its nautical connections, Bristol has extended its industries to aerospace (playing host to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, a major annual hot-air ballooning event) as well as finance, IT and tourism. Being in the south of the UK, Bristol is one of the warmest cities in the UK.
