“Lotte beheerst haar talen zo goed dat ze ermee kan spelen. En dat leert ze jou ook! Humor, veelzijdigheid, creativiteit en een positieve kijk typeren haar.”
My name is Lotte and I am here to prove that anyone who learned one language, can learn a second one, and a third…

Learn Spanish with Lotte and her fearless method
Lotte Stevens is an independent language trainer from Belgium. Over the course of the past 20 years she has developed her own language learning method which has proven to be highly effective. Driven by curiosity, she has worked and traveled in more than 35 countries. As a result, she speaks six languages fluently: Dutch, French, English, German, Spanish and Italian.
In the past she has worked as a festival organiser, teacher, dj, travel director, radio host, news presenter, journalist, reporter and project manager. Downhill mountain biking is her kick.
The summer of 2018 was a milestone: that’s when she started her own business. Now she works online only and lives as a digital nomad, currently in Uruguay.
What my students say about me
Leen

“You can totally feel at ease and learn in a playful manner here. During my Spanish lessons with Lotte we play with words. I like the fact that I can use everything in real life. It is not just theory. “

“Fundierter Sprachunterricht für alle Levels. Abwechslungsreich und motivierend. Der Gruppenkurs ist ein super nettes Miteinander. Alle lieben Lotte!”
Tina

“Als ehemaliger Deutschlehrer halte ich Lotte für eine hervorragende Lehrerin. Außer ihrer Muttersprache Niederländisch spricht sie etliche weitere Sprachen, darunter auch Deutsch nahezu perfekt. Ihr Unterricht ist sehr abwechslungsreich und auch nicht ohne Humor, aber trotzdem sehr effektiv.”
Heinz
Germany
“Du wirst hochmotiviert von einer kompetenten, pädagogisch geschulten Lehrerin sein. Wörter lernen musst du schon selbst, aber die charmante Sprachbegleitung erleichtert es ungemein!”

![[Do what makes you happy... ]
Do what makes you happy, as much as possible and without feeling guilty! It has become my life motto since I overcame depression 3 years ago.
During that time I even gave myself the job title "Happiness Manager" (at the company "My Life") in my LinkedIn profile 💪😜.
In fact, "Happiness Manager" should be everyone's first job title, period!
Who knows best what ⭐️really⭐️ makes you happy? Who can say exactly how high your daily dose of fun and flow must be, in order for you to thrive?
🔶 Y O U 🔶
Only you! And if you are not sure what ⭐️really⭐️ makes you happy, the pen & paper trick helps. Very simple: take a paper and a pen, and start a list of everything that ⭐️really⭐️ makes you happy.
Note the word ⭐️really⭐️ and think again!
☝️Be honest with yourself:
Leave out…
❌everything that is supposed to make you happy
❌everything others expect to make you happy
❌anything that used to make you happy but stopped doing that.
🗒Look at your list, and see what you can start doing - a little bit more - as of today. Spend more time in nature? Call a friend you miss? Cook your favorite food for dinner? Take the scenic route to work?
These are a few small things that make me extra happy these days:
💚bike rides with Patalin, the fastest 3-legged dog in the world
💚sourdough bread from small bakery in town
💚little painting jobs in the hostel where I live
💚short yoga sessions at sunset with atypical yoga music (Aretha Franklin!)
💚eat lettuce and parsley that grew in our garden
💚watching hummingbirds in a garden nearby (and hear & feel them fly by really close)
🔸What are the (small) things that make you happy nowadays?
