Opencontext, Brussels:
We are a Brussels language school specializing in Dutch, English, French and Spanish. We offer a wide range of courses, as well as a wealth of experience combined with a youthful approach to going about our work. Coming from very different backgrounds, the founders have arrived at a teaching concept that is a synthesis of both linguistic and artistic expertise. The teachers with whom we work are in harmony with our pedagogic ideals, and are all native speakers of the languages they teach.

Intensive Dutch Course
Are you at ease with group dynamics? Do you like rapid interaction between people? Is that the way you would like to learn Dutch as well? Can you apply yourself every morning for 2 weeks?
If these questions evoke a positive response with you, you will like our intensive course. Role plays, dialogues, interactive drills, parroting, verbal pingpong, and guided as well as free conversation. During our intensive courses we really pull out all the stops to make you connect with your fellow students through the language you're learning. The teacher introduces different activities and provides a constant influx of fresh language material. The students pick up new words and expressions, practise them thoroughly and – thanks to the interactive nature of the activities – pass them on to each other.
An intensive course takes place Monday to Friday from 9 am to 13 pm, for a period of 2 weeks. Unless the students request otherwise, the focus for higher levels will be on oral skills, with special attention paid to professional language (telephone conversation with a customer, and discussions at a meeting). For beginners the emphasis is on day-to-day vocabulary (asking directions, introductions, and ordering in a restaurant). There is also some opportunity for specific requests. We offer a free language level test to guarantee that you are placed in a group of your own level.
Private
Course
Do you learn better at your own speed? Do you prefer a single but profound exchange to any number of superficial interactions? Are you at your best in a one-to-one situation?
Yes? Then our private course is just the thing for you. For almost a night and a day (22,5 hours to be exact) you'll converse with a foreign language specialist about subjects that concern you. The materials presented, the responses given, and the activities proposed are all aimed at explosively expanding your capacity to speak.
To allow for your maximum freedom when composing your schedule, we have divided the total duration of the course into 45 blocks of 30 minutes. Our only request is that you schedule at least 2 blocks per class. This way you can plan lessons of 1 hour, 1,5 hours, 2 hours etc. A scheduled class can be cancelled 24 hours beforehand at the latest.
Private Immersion Course
Do you want to reach a certain level of language mastery fast? Are you prepared to devote time to this end, while staying in control of your schedule yourself? Do you want to be constantly put under pressure so as to maximize the return on your time spent?
If your answer is positive, we recommend that you take a private immersion course. A private immersion consists of 45 blocks of 1 hour, which you can spread out over a period of 10 weeks, with a minimum of 2 blocks per class. This way you can schedule classes of 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours etc. But that's not the best part.
With a private immersion you also have more than one teacher. For every two consecutive blocks of 1 hour we will provide two different teachers – one for the first hour and one for the second hour. Brace yourself for when the second hour begins! Your newly arrived teacher won't let the grass grow under his feet as he will move forward from where your previous teacher left off, thereby assuring the continuity of the course. At the same time his new style will appeal to different aspects of your personality and your ear will have an excellent opportunity to become accustomed to new accents.
