Dutch to perfection
During the Advanced Dutch course, you will work in groups, in pairs, or on your own. This variety keeps the learning process dynamic. An experienced teacher is always on hand to provide personal guidance and feedback. The Dutch to perfection teaching method has been specially developed for higher professional education and university graduates who are learning Dutch as a second language.
In addition to the lessons, you will also have access to an online environment full of video clips, vocabulary lists, and pronunciation exercises. This is very useful and fun to work with outside of class.
