Spreken, spreken, spreken, kost nog veel moeite. Na een cursus Nederlands op B1 niveau is een goede grammaticale basis gelegd… Maar er is meer oefening nodig om te spreken.
Schrijfvaardigheid B1+
Na Nederlands op B1 niveau is de taal geen mysterie meer. Conversaties gaan steeds beter, maar het schrijven is nog een probleem.

Conversation, culture and sense of humour
We teach all levels (0-C1 CEFR) in various formats – reaching from a ten days intensive course, or a six week conversation course to a flexible in-company course to prepare you and your colleagues/employees for the NT2 state exam.
Throughout our courses, we focus on communication and Dutch culture, allowing our students to “home in on Holland” (which is also the title of our own, acclaimed teaching method) as soon as possible. To make sure that you get all the attention and feedback you need, we exclusively work with small groups and professional teachers with a thorough knowledge of Dutch (and a good sense of humour).
