Goesting in Taal

Hi, I am Sofie Begine.

Nice to meet you!

I'm the founder of Goesting in Taal and I am a language trainer working in the region of Brussels and Leuven.

I love sharing my passion for the Dutch language in all its variety with my students. I have given language trainings to people with many different backgrounds, from nurses to CEO's. In the past years I have been specialising in teaching Flemish informal language, because I realised how important spoken language is to not feel like an outsider in a Flemish environment.

If you have any questions about the Goesting in Taal project, feel free to contact me!

Why this project?

As a Dutch language teacher working in Brussels and Leuven, I was often confronted with the difference between correct Dutch, the language we teach in classes, and the way Flemish people actually speak. The real language of everyday life, though it technically is not a "correct language".

I noticed that my trainees continued to have difficulties understanding their friends, neighbours and colleagues, even after many classes. After becoming aware of this fact, I started paying more attention to the way we speak in informal situations. And no wonder my students were having difficulties! The spoken Flemish language differs from the standard Dutch, not only in pronunciation, but also in vocabulary and grammar!

That is when I decided to develop tools to learn this wonderful and rich informal language.
The goal of this website is absolutely not to replace traditional Dutch courses. Knowing correct Dutch remains as important as ever to function in our society. Rather, this platform aimes to be  a complementary approach, and dare I say a necessary one. Not knowing the informal everyday language is as big a handicap as not knowing the standard language.

I hope this website and my books will offer you a way to break this language barrier once and for all!
