Method

  • The course material we use is De sprong, a book which has been specially developed for learners with a higher educational level who have already mastered the basics of Dutch, but who are not yet ready to take Programme 2 of the State Exam in Dutch.
  • During the meetings you work in groups, in pairs or alone. The language of instruction is Dutch. The meetings are always led by an experienced teacher who is a professional in personal coaching. In this way, we ensure that you get the best results from yourself.
  • Halfway through the course, your personal progress in listening, reading, writing and speaking will be tested, as will your writing and speaking skills at the end of the course.
