Social Dutch II course
Are you an expat and who would like to be able to speak Dutch to colleagues? Did you complete Social Dutch I and would you like to continue learning Dutch? Or have you already acquired some basic Dutch and would you like to expand your knowledge, for example by learning how to talk about the past? In that case, our Social Dutch II course is just the thing for you.
Social Dutch II is offered for FREE to all Radboud University international students and staff who meet the conditions.**
Target group
Social Dutch II is intended for those who already have a basic knowledge of Dutch or pick up new languages quickly.
What will the course bring you?
To start at Social Dutch level II, some prior knowledge of Dutch is required. If you have passed Social Dutch level I, you can participate in level II. You can also start at level II if you have studied Dutch before, for example in your home country. In this case, you need to schedule an intake so your level of Dutch can be assessed.
In this course we use the book Start.nl part 1 – Dutch for beginners. You will be doing chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. These chapters will teach you to ask about arrival and departure times in public transportation, to talk about your house, to talk about events in the past, to order something in a bar or restaurant, and to know what you can say in a shop.
During classes the focus is on communication and actively engaging with this material.
Level: Halfway to A1 - A1 (CEFR)
After the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance (provided you have attended at least 80% of the classes).
