Dutch as a second language (NT2)

A course for anyone who:

• Wants to learn Dutch;

The course program is designed to teach you the Dutch language as effectively as possible. There is a strong focus on the fundamentals of the language, including reading, listening, writing, speaking, vocabulary, and grammar. We use recognized teaching methods for the following proficiency levels: 0-A1, A1-A2, A2-B1, and B1-B2.

There are separate groups for learners who need to become literate in Dutch. We work towards the levels of Alfa A, Alfa B, and Alfa C.

Once we receive your registration, we will schedule an intake interview to assess your Dutch language proficiency level. You will take several tests to determine your language proficiency level. During the interview you will receive advice on the most suitable course for you based on the results.
