Approach

During the meetings, you will work in pairs or small groups on practice-oriented assignments. You will practice intensively with reading, listening, writing and speaking in medical contexts. You will also work with practice tests so that you know exactly what to expect during the exam.

Teaching Materials

You work with the book “Dutch to Perfection,” a supplementary reader and online materials. The topics connect to your field, with themes such as nutrition, psychology and ethics. So you’ll apply language directly in situations relevant to your work as a physician. Before the start of the course, we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials so that you can start your class well prepared.

Teachers

You will be taught by an experienced teacher who will provide intensive guidance and targeted feedback on your language use, grammar and communication skills. The teacher will help you work towards the exam in a goal-oriented way and provide a safe learning environment in which you can grow.

Certificate of Participation

In lesson 18, the reading and writing tests B2+ are taken. In lesson 19 and 20 the individual listening and speaking tests will take place. If you pass both parts, you will receive the B2+ language certificate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which Dutch language level suits me?

To make sure you enrol at the right level, you can take our free placement test. This test will help you assess your current level of Dutch. Once you’ve completed it, the test will be marked by one of our experienced teachers, who will provide you with personalised feedback. That way, you’ll know exactly which level suits you best.

Can I catch up on a missed Dutch class?

Unfortunately, in group courses it is not possible to make up a missed lesson, because the lessons take place at fixed times for the whole group. Through the lesson materials, homework and lesson plan in MyBabel, you can work through the missed material independently so that you can continue to follow the course well.

Can I pay for my Dutch course in installments?

You pay the course fee in a single payment. You can do this upon registration via iDEAL, credit card, or by having your employer pay the invoice.

What are the advantages of a group language course?

A group language course offers the opportunity to learn and practice with others. You benefit from interactive lessons, learn from the questions and experiences of fellow students, and have plenty of opportunity to use the language actively. In addition, the group dynamic often provides extra motivation and a pleasant learning environment.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom is a live online language course in which you take lessons together with a teacher and other students. You participate via Zoom or Teams, for example, and actively practice during the lesson. This combines the interaction of a group lesson with the convenience of online learning. Many students choose this form because of its flexibility.
