Learn Dutch - BLC Language Courses BV

Bart Leenhouts – de Pau - Online Dutch language teacher; Founder of BLC Language Courses (summer + winter school).

Although I am an engineer by education, I have a passion for languages. At school I learned 3 foreign languages: German, English and French. And then I learned 2 more languages completely by myself: Russian and Spanish.

After university (in 2002) I ended up in Russia where I helped Dutch companies set up their businesses. Because they understood the need to understand the local language, I set up a program for Dutch people to learn Russian – intensive language courses with accommodation in St. Petersburg (a language center that still exists today with almost two thousand clients in 15 years).

My mission: to teach my native language Dutch to as many foreigners as possible, in a fun and efficient way… using all my experience of running a language center and learning foreign languages myself.
