Direct Dutch courses

At the moment, all our courses are online, except for the Intensive Beginners A0 – A2, which is held at our Institute in The Hague. More classical courses will be re-introduced later this year, or next year. If you sign up for an online course, it will be online until the last lesson!

With our online (video conference) classes we offer the same approved (direct) method of teaching Dutch, in a virtual classroom with a teacher and 6 students. For more information about our online classes click here.

Do you want to get your head around the elementary grammar of the Dutch language, boost your somewhat shaky level of Dutch or work on your fluency (even after the NT2 exam)? Are you looking for a course in the morning, the evening or the weekend, or even two weeks of total immersion during your holidays? At Direct Dutch Institute, we offer the right course for everyone willing to invest time and effort to seriously improve their Dutch. Below you can read all about our courses. Direct Dutch Institute also provides private lessons on all levels. We are happy to create a traject to suit your specific linguistic needs. For more information please contact us. For (in) company courses see here.

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).
Have a look at our different courses, check your current level of Dutch in our online test and find out which one suits you best.
