PLENTY OF COURSE OPTIONS
To learn Dutch or English in a group setting, you can choose from a variety of options:
- Online / face to face (The Hague city center)
- Morning / evening / weekend classes
- Course levels from A0 to C1
- Exam preparation training
- A special Dutch program for Au Pairs
- Conversation and communication courses

PICK THE RIGHT PACE
The core of our offer consists in once a week courses. This pace means that you devote at least 4-5 hours to Dutch per week (lesson + homework/preparation).
If you know you can invest more time and energy in learning, we encourage you to look up the semi-intensive options. You will be having class twice a week, with 2-3 hours of homework/preparation per lesson.
Some courses are also offered in the intensive format (5 days a week) during the summer months.

CONNECT AND SOCIALIZE
Joining an open program course provides extra opportunities to mix and network outside your usual social bubble.
You will also soon realize that diversity and cultural exchange in the classroom effectively stimulates conversation and strengthens the learning experience.

ADVICE AND TIPS
If you have not learned Dutch before, pick one of the Starterpack courses.
If you have learned some Dutch already, first complete the level assessment by doing an online test and booking a phone intake.
Some of our courses employ the flipped classroom format, a very effective method which includes self-study prior to the lesson.
