The Intensive Beginner course is meant for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of Dutch. Within two weeks, students deal with the entire elementary grammar of Dutch and build up a vocabulary of about 1000 words. This course is a great way to get familiar with the Dutch language within two weeks!

Our classes are based on the direct method. This means that all classes are highly interactive and focus on communication. In every first and third class of a day, new words and structures are introduced by means of question and answer series. In the second and fourth class, the newly learned words and structures are consolidated by plenary discussing exercises from the coursebook. Dutch is spoken in class from the very first lesson .
