THE LEARN DUTCH STUDENTS  
   
Where are they coming from?  
   
After 1675 people returned the electronic questionnaire, the questionnaire was removed form the website.

Some people use the website just once; out of curiosity and others come back many times because they are strongly motivated to learn Dutch online.

43% of the visitors are from the U.S.A. and 57% from the other 89 countries.

Why do they want to Learn Dutch?  
   

The main reasons are:

  • Being married to a Dutch man or woman
  • Being in love with a Dutch man or woman
  • Having friends in the Netherlands
  • Non-Dutch living in the Netherlands
  • Being interested in the Dutch family roots

Human relations is the most important motivation to Learn Dutch online.

 
   
Learn Dutch with Crossroads Café.  
   
The story of Crossroads Café is based on the human relations of a group of people who come together in a small neighborhood restaurant called Crossroads Café. The story turns out to be a perfect story to learn Dutch online in at least 89 countries in the world.

After a testperiod of 25 month people are waiting for the other 25 online lessons.

The feedback of all respondents will be used in the new version of this course.

A great majority of wants the online course free of charge, but over 80% would like to pay for a CD-ROM. However, in many countries people do not have a creditcard and alternative ways of paying are to expensive.
Because the majority wants to Learn Dutch free of charge, I want to keep it free.
