About Me
italki teacher since May 3, 2021
My name is Heidi and I'm from Belgium. My native language is Dutch with a Flemish accent.
First of all I am learning Italian, because in 2020 I moved to Italy with my husband. We only had 5 months to learn Italian, but we did it! I'd love to share with you my tricks and tools to learn a new language in such a short amount of time.
Next to Italian I am learning Arabic, because my parents-in-law are from Syria. Every time we visit them they speak Arabic.
Further, in Belgium, they teach you French and German in school, in which I can have basic conversations.
In my spare time I love learning new languages, but I also like to cook, bake, play chess and read the Bible.
Me as a Teacher
I'm patient, positive, always in a good mood and I definitely want to share my enthusiasm with you. I can't wait to have a conversation with you!
My lessons & teaching style
In essence, I want us to talk a lot. I've learned that interaction is the key to learn a new language. I also want the lessons to be enjoyable for you and I want you to have a good time, because I believe that way you can learn even better and remember even more.

Heidi is very easy to talk with. I feel comfortable to talk with her. She corrected my sentences and came up with better words when I got stuck. Thank you!
