Approach
During the meetings you work a lot in small groups or pairs, always under the guidance of an experienced teacher. You practice with recognizable situations from everyday life, so that you learn to apply the Dutch language directly in practice.
Teaching Materials
You work with the book ‘De sprong’. This book was developed specifically for highly educated students who already have a solid grasp of the basics of Dutch but are not yet ready for the State Exam. It contains original material from newspapers and magazines and helps you further develop your language skills in a natural and engaging way. Before the start of the course we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials, so that you can start your lesson well prepared.
Teachers
You will be taught by an experienced teacher who will personally guide you and help you get the best out of yourself. The open atmosphere allows you to learn not only from the teacher, but also from the experiences of other students.
