That’s when she found VLLC (Vocational Language Learning Centre). What set VLLC apart for Annabelle was their flexible, one-on-one learning approach tailored to real-life conversations. “I didn’t want to learn Dutch just to pass a test,” she said. “I wanted to be able to sit at the dinner table with my in-laws and be part of the laughter and stories.”
Through a mix of online lessons and regular sessions with native-speaking tutors, Annabelle began to grow in confidence. The program focused on practical language skills—everything from casual greetings to navigating cultural nuances. Within months, she found herself understanding full conversations, and eventually, even joining in. Now, Annabelle speaks comfortably with her in-laws and has built meaningful relationships that go beyond translation apps and polite smiles. “It’s one of the best things I’ve done for my relationship,” she says. “Learning Dutch with VLLC didn’t just teach me a language—it opened a whole new part of my life.”
