Intensive summer course Social Dutch I for native speakers of German

Would you like to be able to speak Dutch to colleagues? Or read labels in the supermarket, ask a shop assistant where you can find a particular item or have a chat with your neighbours? And on top of that, would you like to know about typical aspects of Dutch culture, both within and outside the academic world? In that case, our intensive summer course Social Dutch I for native speakers of German is just the thing for you.

Target group

The course is intended for students, PhD candidates, RU staff, expats and anyone else from Germany who would like to learn enough Dutch to be able to communicate in a simple but effective way.

Because of the similarities between Dutch and German, this course goes through the learning materials quickly.

Level

From 0 to A1

Content

In this course we use the book Start.nl part 1 – Dutch for beginners. You will be doing all the 10 chapters. These chapters will teach you to introduce yourself and someone else, to talk about hobbies, family and daily activities, to know what you can say in the supermarket or another shop, to ask about arrival and departure times in public transportation, to talk about your house, to talk about events in the past, and to order something in a bar or restaurant.

During classes the focus is on communication and actively engaging with this material.
