learn dutch
Spoken by over 23 million people worldwide, the Dutch language is a fantastic mix of old and new. As soon as you utter your first word of Dutch, you’ll have begun your integration into Dutch society, learning all about this fantastic country and rich history.
Dutch can be a complicated language, so we break it down into easier chunks for you to learn. To give you an idea, here are just some of the things we include in our levels: In A1, you’ll get to grips with introducing yourself; talking about your routine, hobbies and family; learning colours and learning basic Dutch grammar. In A2 we up the ante and begin talking about the past and future tenses, we learn about building more complicated sentences with prefixes and using ‘er’, and we dive into Dutch culture, learning as we speak!
In the intermediate levels we expand our knowledge of Dutch, using synonyms in B1 and learning more about Dutch tenses and how we use them to describe time and when things happened. We also read articles, listen to popular Dutch music and discuss social and cultural aspects of living in the Netherlands, all in Dutch!
At B2 level, it’s time to get technical. At this level you learn to manipulate your Dutch, using a variety of words and grammatical structures. At this level we will learn how to use expressions too, as these are a huge part of the language.
At our advanced levels, you become a true master of the language. At C1 you have surpassed daily Dutch and now you’re beginning to learn Dutch for formal situations as well as idiomatic language. Having such a grasp on the language means you’ll be ready for just about any situation, and any call for you to use Dutch.
C2 is our top level, used to understand and produce academic writing and legal texts with no mistakes. At this level your understanding and breadth of Dutch is so developed that you’ll even be able to help native Dutch speakers improve texts. This level will also have you fully prepared for a higher education in Dutch.
The goal of the course is to provide you with the tools and confidence to use Dutch in a variety of real-life contexts. Whether you aim to integrate into Dutch society, pursue academic or professional opportunities, or simply connect with the language and culture, our structured levels will guide you every step of the way.
Our courses are specially designed for internationals who wish to learn Dutch and integrate into Dutch society. Whether you're new to the Netherlands or have been living here for some time, our programs are tailored to meet the needs of non-native speakers and provide a supportive environment to help you achieve your language goals.
No specific prior education is required to join the course. The levels are structured in such a way that you can start based on your current knowledge of Dutch. Beginners can start at the A1 level, while those with some knowledge of the language can join a higher level after an intake or a level assessment.
