Intensive Beginners course

Two week intensive beginners courses
The Intensive Beginners Course is for the absolute beginner. In one week we go from uttering single words to speaking in the simple past and present perfect. The second week focuses on adding more verbs to the sentence and creating more complex sentence constructions.

If you are in doubt what course fits your level of Dutch you can always do the test on our website 'test your Dutch' and then make an appointment with one of our teachers for a 20 minutes oral test. This test is free of charge

The complete beginners course can be done in a two week course. Please contact us if you are interested.

Although we use the same Home in on Holland coursebook as in our regular three months' course, the intensive course has a totally different format. Each week consists of five days with 6 hours of tuition (Monday to Friday, 4 lessons of 1,5 hours per day). The first lesson always concentrates on conversation whereas in every second lesson the grammar is dealt with by means of the exercises from the course book. During the course some time is devoted to different aspects of Dutch society and culture.

9.30 - 11.00 hrs	lesson 1
11.15 - 12.45 hrs	lesson 2
12.45 - 13.45 hrs	lunchtime
13.45 - 15.15 hrs	lesson 3
15.30 - 16.30 hrs	lesson 4
16.30 - 17.00 hrs	lecture or question time

From the very first lesson, Dutch is spoken in class, although some points of grammar may be explained in English to save time.

Although a large part of the homework will be dealt with in class, it may be necessary to do some revision at home during the evenings.

Please Note: a little knowledge of English is required to attend our Intensive Beginners Course. If in doubt, please phone us for more information.
