Are you ready to speak advanced Dutch?
Kickstart School’s Advanced Dutch Course is designed to develop a high level of fluency in speaking, while also consolidating and extending your grammar, listening, reading and writing skills.
Reading and writing skills are mostly improved through homework, in order to give as much class time as possible to speaking and to better facilitate discussion as well. Please be aware that in the face to face courses there is no option of joining remotely. If you have to miss the class due to sickness or other reasons, you can catch up in self-study or we can offer you a catch up lesson at a reduced price.
