Course Description

Right from the first lesson, you will actively engage with the Dutch language! You will learn to listen, speak, read and write. Attention will also be paid to grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. You will practise with your fellow students through various communicative assignments. The emphasis in the lessons is on speaking and listening skills, while reading and writing assignments are mainly given as homework. Of course, in addition to the language, you will also learn about Dutch culture. During the lessons, communication will be in Dutch as much as possible. If necessary, the teacher will provide explanations in English. You can learn Dutch at levels A1 to B2 with us.
