A2 to B1 Intermediate
This course
In the A2-B1 Intermediate course you will start to understand, speak and read Dutch on a more independent level.
The 16 lessons are grouped around eight different themes. You will dive into all the practical aspects of Dutch society. You will learn about the Dutch Royal family, the health-care system among others, but also about the housing system and how to find suitable accommodation in The Netherlands. 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 the Netherlands.
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.
