Our Dutch for Adults program are language classes for adults. Our courses are divided into Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. These courses correspond with ERK-levels A0 up to B2.
We use the books De Delftse Methode and Zichtbaar Nederlands, as well as other materials the teacher wants to use. This is an all-rounded language course: our courses mainly focus on reading and speaking skills, but we do practice writing and listening as well.
All courses run from September through May and follow a format of ‘3 classes on and one class off’. All classes are online (except for our in-person conversation course), but our team will plan several informal meetings to encourage students to meet with each other and practice their Dutch.
Our course syllabus is created on Notion, which is easy to use. All students will have access to Zoom, course materials, personalized homework exercises and additional materials through here.
If you are working towards obtaining the CNaVT certificate, please let your teacher know beforehand. We frequently have students participate in these exams level A2 through B2.
The online lessons are provided at the following levels:
Basic I with Larry Monster on Saturday OR Sunday from 9:30-11:30am
