Afternoon Dutch Course for Beginners

Course description

This course will start on Thursday February 13th 2025 with the last class on Thursday June 19th and the final exam on Wednesday June 25th. You will have one class of two hours per week on Thursday afternoons from 16.00 to 18.00. This offline course covers the basics of learning the Dutch language. You will develop all relevant skills: writing, reading, listening, speaking, grammar and vocabulary. We use a flipped classroom approach, meaning you prepare by reading about the important topics and make 3-4 hours of homework per class. Time in class is used to actively practice with the topics and to provide a more in-depth explanation on grammar. A minimum effort is required to pass the course: → Make three to four hours of homework per class. → Miss no more than three classes. → Make all writing assignments and pass the final test. You will need to order the book 'Nederlands in Gang' from Coutinho separately. We will cover the first 9 chapters in the A1 course and the second 9 chapters in an optional follow-up A2 course. Please reflect if this course fits your needs: → You've read through our FAQ and are aware what kind of course you're registering for. → You're able to study homework prior to the class by yourself. → You have the time to commit to 4 hours of preparation per week. → You're familiar with the English language.

We are looking forward to be part of your Dutch adventure!
