Basic Dutch 1

In this course you will learn the basics of the Dutch language in an enjoyable and practical way. We practice with situations that you need in your daily life. After the course you can, for example, tell something about yourself, make an appointment, buy an item in a shop, or place an order in a restaurant.

The course builds up from level 0 to A1 and ensures that you master the basics of the language. The language of instruction during classes is Dutch.

This course is at a slower pace than the Beginners 1 course and is suitable for people who have little or no experience in learning a second language. More attention is paid to pronunciation, reading, learning new words and sentence structure.
