About the course

During this course we deal with common misunderstandings when learning the Dutch language as a German-speaker. You will have ample opportunity to practice with the material. Because the languages are so related, the pace is relatively high. You will therefore learn more about the Dutch language in a short time than if you were to take a regular course in Dutch for non-native speakers.

The content of the course focuses on practical themes that everyone will encounter sooner or later. For example, we cover the topics of getting to know each other, being on the road, going out, making an appointment, family, parties, shopping, shopping, living, health and transport. You work on a basis of all language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

This Beginners Dutch for German Speakers course is aimed to those who wish to achieve level A2 in a short period of time. Would you like to know your current language level? Then take our free placement test!
