What will you learn in this course?

In this course we use the book Start.nl part 2 – Dutch for beginners. You will be doing all the chapters of this book. We work according to a blended learning method, which means that you prepare for the course online. During classes the focus is on communication and actively engaging with this material.

Dutch is spoken as much as possible during classes.
