I have recently started to learn Dutch, as an absolute beginner, with Ria. I have one-to-one lessons via Skype which works extremely well for me. Learning any new language is naturally challenging and you make plenty of mistakes in the lessons, but Ria always puts you at your ease and there is absolutely none of the fear of failure that I remember from school lessons: it is fun! Dutch is a wonderful language and I have no doubt that I made the right choice of teacher.
