Advanced Dutch Course Part 1

You will develop your language skills to B2+ level in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. You will expand your vocabulary, improve your grammar, and practice academic, idiomatic, and everyday language use. The assignments and texts are related to current social themes such as economics, culture, welfare, nutrition, education, and psychology. During the sessions, there is plenty of room for discussion and monologue, so that your confidence and writing skills grow.

If you would like to register for a language certificate afterward, you can do so here.
