Student Reviews:
•  "I am so pleased that I made the effort to take a Dutch course when I arrived here. The BSN Language Centre has been brilliant, not only did I pick up the language but I made new friends at the same time too."

•  "I chose this school because many people from other countries study here, so I thought I could practice a lot every day in an intensive course. If you finish a course you can continue with the next until you finish your learning. Am I enjoying the course? Totally!"

•  "I chose the British School because I studied here last year. I like a course 2 times a week, this is very good for me. I find the course interesting and dynamic, I’m really enjoying it."

•  "The textbooks are easy to use. You can pop in and out of a subject, and it was quite easy for me to catch up, when I was ill last month. In addition our group discusses everything from recipes, to our children, to telling the time, and I also found the topic of Dutch etiquette to be really helpful".
