Intermediate Courses
All three courses have the same format in which emphasis is placed on improving fluency in speaking and expanding vocabulary.
Grammar is an integral part of all three Intermediate courses. Stepping Stone I will start with a revision of the basics. Learning about the Dutch culture plays a central part in all three courses.
