I understand serious topics now. The topics are harder, but I think that’s fun. We discuss important topics such as the Golden Age, EU, and development aid, Esther says about Module 7.

Delft method students about the B1 modules 7 and 8
I need more time to memorize
But, there is also a problem. I study a lot but can’t use the new words well. Understanding and using them is entirely different. I always find it difficult if I have to answer the question of the lesson quickly.
Esther continues: Before I started Module 7, I wanted to speak more correctly and fluently. I usually understand the question, but I can’t answer with a correct sentence. The teacher helps me to improve my sentence. I think that’s important. I need more practice speaking at level B1.
In Module 7 you learn many more expressions than in B1 modules 5 and 6. I understand serious topics
Aysegül, October 2022
I wanted to speak Dutch (NT2) more correctly and learn more words. That happened: I learned a lot of new words and started to form sentences with good grammar.
I feel more courage now. In addition, I now have less stress about my improvement and I am patient. I have to study a lot, but again: I have a lot of trouble remembering.
I am very happy with you, Margreet Kwakernaak, you are a really good teacher
Özlem, October 2022
I like the Delft Method. I learned a lot of words in a short time,
but unfortunately, I couldn’t learn and remember them all.
I find the lesson a bit short and quick because I would like to have more time to talk.
But, I am very happy with you, Margreet Kwakernaak, you are a really good teacher. Unfortunately, I’m going to stop with the Delft method because I’m not good at remembering.
Thanks for everything!
I am glad that I already understand most of what my Dutch colleagues are saying
Franzi, October 2022
Now, after Module 7, I am happy that I already understand most of what my Dutch colleagues say.
But, I’m not happy that we don’t learn to write at all.
Suitcase languages: It is true that in the B1 modules, we do not do writing exercises as they are done in traditional methods. Students do write practice sentences in the grammar modules, but not in the Delft method.
Suitcase talen students do not write free texts that have to be checked by a teacher. That is not possible in a course that is 33% cheaper than a traditional course. If students want that, all modules should be longer and more expensive.
Students of the Delft method learn to spell very well because they have to type 50 words every week in the e-learning.
Many Suitcase language students already take the Civic Integration Exam after 15 weeks.
It is also a writing exam. During the exam training, they write 15 test exams, which are marked by the teacher. So far, ALL students who have done this training have passed at once.
The B1 exam also includes a writing exam – much more difficult. For the B1 exam, the students do an exam training of 5 weeks, in which writing is central.
I can recommend the Delft method if you have discipline. I understand serious topics
Basak, January 2023
If the texts were interesting and updated, I was happy with the topics of Modules 7 and 8. I also understand serious topics now.
But, if the topics weren’t interesting and a bit old, I wasn’t happy.
The Delftse methode does, however, entail some discipline. I can recommend the method if you have that discipline
I was happy that I studied B1 with Suitcase talen because I thought it was a professional and good course
Sheer, January 2023
I was happy that I studied B1 with Suitcase talen, because I thought it was a professional and good course.
At times I was not happy because it was very difficult to learn all the texts, but I managed! 🙂.
Finally, it was a great experience to study languages at Suitcase.
I was very happy when I had an appointment with my eye specialist
Norma, January 2023
I was very happy with my B1 study at Suitcase talen when I had an appointment with my eye specialist. Before that, we usually spoke in English, but last time we only spoke Dutch for the first ten minutes!
After the B1 modules I am satisfied with my improvement in speaking and understanding Dutch and I now also understand serious subjects.
I would recommend the course to others who have the time and focus to succeed in an intensive course.
