What will you learn in this course?

The advanced course will teach you Dutch up to B2 level. The classes focus on speaking, listening, reading and writing. Reading and writing skills are mostly practiced in the time allotted for self-study. Dutch is spoken as much as possible during classes.

Speaking

You can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of topics related to your area of interest. You can take part in spontaneous conversations so normal exchanges with native speakers are reasonably possible. You can actively take part in discussions in familiar contexts and express your views.

Listening

You can understand longer speeches and lectures. You can follow complex reasoning on topics that are reasonably familiar to you. You can understand most news and current affairs programmes on television. You can understand most films in the standard dialect.

Reading

You can read articles and reports that deal with contemporary issues in which the writers adopt a particular perspective. You can understand modern literary prose.

Writing

You can write clear, detailed texts on a wide range of topics. You can write essays or reports, convey information and give reasons to support a particular perspective. You can write letters that explain the personal significance of an event or experience.
