A2 Dutch course
Do you already understand basic Dutch, but find it difficult to respond in conversations? The Intermediate Dutch Course at Taalthuis helps you move from basic knowledge to more active use of Dutch.
This course is for English-speaking internationals who want to feel more confident using Dutch in everyday situations, at work, during study or in social contact.
What do you learn at Dutch intermediate level?
In this course, you expand your vocabulary and learn to make longer, clearer Dutch sentences. You practise pronunciation, accent, intonation, grammar and sentence structure in a practical way.
The focus is on speaking and understanding Dutch in real situations. You practise through games, stories, listening exercises, speaking activities and short writing exercises. Topics include daily life, work, news, art, culture, national holidays and seasons.
