Courses: Daytime and evening classes: Beginners Dutch course, Intensive Beginners Courses, Beginners Brush-up Course, Intermediate Dutch Course, Intensive Intermediate Course, Advanced Dutch Course, NT2 exam training programmes, Company Business Courses and onsite lessons.

Methodology: We use the direct method, which means that we try to speak Dutch as much as possible during the lessons. (Since some aspects of the grammar will be explained in English, it is important that participants of beginners courses have a basic knowledge of English.) In small groups (max. 8 people) we will concentrate on the speaking and listening skills, whereas the reading and writing skills are taught by means of the homework. The Beginners Course concentrates on conversation, though with the addition of crucial theoretical background instruction.
