Goedendag, welkom in de cursus Nederlands!   Hello, my name is Raphael and I teach Dutch language for more than 25 years with great pleasure.   For quite some time I teach at the Language Centre of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, as well as the Volkshochschule Reutlingen, with course-members from all over Germany.   My inexhaustible positive energy in teaching is strongly related to your own motivation as an individual, who wants to learn, to develop skills and to express yourself in Dutch.   I therefor create a comfortable learning environment - so your talents and efforts will quickly be rewarded by mastering Dutch to the desired level.   In the course we will practise conversating a lot and you’ll get to know plenty of grammar andvocabulary to be self-confident in Dutch.   I am looking forward to get to know you and to be at your side.   Kind regards,   Raphael Vossen

<p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">Dobre Doshli! Welcome to all!</p> <p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">I would like to introduce myself briefly to you: My name is Dimitar Dimitrov, I am Bulgarian but I live for over 20 years in Groningen..</p> <p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">As a professional translator and interpreter Dutch and Bulgarian and vice versa I spend significant time connecting people and facilitating communication and understanding.</p> <p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">I really love my favourite languages - particularly Bulgarian and Dutch – fortunately, for my daily work in fact consists of both of them. I sense a great deal of satisfaction when communication ‘works’, if and when my clients express themselves in the way they desire and understand what´s being said by others. I consider the energy arising from this successful interaction very rewarding.</p> <p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">As a native-speaker of Bulgarian language I mastered Dutch to the highest level. It now makes me happy teaching Bulgarian to various students directly.</p> <p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">To you as a course-member I would point out: I’m at your side to develop your skills and to resolve eventual obstacles in learning Bulgarian. It is my pleasure to contribute to your efforts as language student who is committed to learn and master this beautiful and ancient south-Slavic tongue.</p> <p style="color: #000000;font-size: medium">We will discuss a wide range of themes, while listening, speaking, rehearsing, having many conversations and .. fun – to finally establish what at this point may seem a miracle to you: to express yourself self-confident in Bulgarian.</p>
