This course
In the A2-B1 Intermediate course you will start to understand, speak, listen and read Dutch on a more independent level.
In 21 different lessons you will learn about the Dutch Royal family for example but also about how to find suitable accommodation. Next to that you will learn how to conduct a good discussion and how to express your opinion and ideas well. The lessons are filled with information about every aspect of Dutch society and with many new words and grammar explanations; in short, with a wealth of knowledge and skills that you need to function well in Dutch society.
During the lessons you will receive practical instructions and you will work in small groups, in pairs or with your teacher on assignments and your homework. You develop your speaking, reading, writing and listening skills up to B1-Intermediate level.
