Nederlands beginners [A0-A1]

This course is for those who do not speak any Dutch yet and is the first step towards learning the language. You will learn Dutch properly and fast and will work on different aspects of the language. Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation will be covered, including the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. This is an intensive course, so learning will take place at a higher speed than in the other courses. Please reckon with more time spent on self-study. 

During the lessons the focus will primarily be on learning to communicate in Dutch. Everyday situations will be used as examples for you to practise with. These will include doing the shopping, talking to colleagues and getting to know new people. Dutch culture will also be studied during this course. This will help you to develop a more complete sense of Dutch. You will work alone, in pairs and in small groups during the lessons.

About 6 to 10 hours of homework will be set each week and there are three lesson days a week.

NOTE: This course is on Monday and Thursday from 9.00 to 12.00.
