Do you already have A2-level Dutch and want to speak with more confidence? The Advanced Dutch Course at Taalthuis helps you move from simple conversations to more independent use of Dutch.
This course is divided into Part 1 and Part 2. Each part has 14 sessions. To work towards full B1 level, you need to complete both parts.
What will you learn during this advanced Dutch course?
In the B1 Dutch course, you expand your vocabulary and learn to express yourself more clearly in Dutch. You work on pronunciation, accent, intonation, grammar, spelling and sentence structure.
The focus is on speaking and understanding Dutch in real situations. You practise through current topics, stories, games, listening exercises, speaking activities and short writing assignments. Topics include news, art, culture and literature.
