About Me
italki teacher since Feb 17, 2022
Hi, my name is Mingus Niesten, a 26-year-old Dutch guy. I would love to become a translator in the future, with good knowledge of French, English and of course Dutch, and basic knowledge of Spanish. I'm currently doing my masters, Professional Translation in Utrecht. I've always had a passion for languages, because it makes it possible to communicate even when you're very far from home. Speaking another language well can make you more of a world citizen. It also give you a possibility to get to know other cultures. Furthermore, I am passionate about football, fitness and music!
Me as a Teacher
I see myself as a calm and collected person, who is always looking for ways to improve in something. This is also useful in lessons, as my full focus will be on ways I can help you speak and understand a specific language better. I also think it's important to feel like the 'classroom' is a safe space, where it's okay to make mistakes.
My lessons & teaching style
In my opinion, it's important to try to speak a language as much as possible, so that creating sentences becomes routine. When you know the basics of creating sentences, you're already well on your way to mastering a language. Speaking about multiple topics is also crucial, this way your vocabulary extends and it won't matter as much what the subject of a future conversation will be, because you will have all kinds of words in your head :)

Mr Low had a pleasant time with Mingus Niesten on the 3rd of March 2023. The first class with Mingus Niesten is great and I am pleased that he found the reason for my MAIN and interest in the Dutch language, which started in 2005, an interesting story.
