Learning
Are you an expat?
Do you feel left out when your Dutch colleagues make small talk? It would help if you knew some Dutch words and could say some simple sentences in Dutch.

Group-, duo- en and individual lessons
Group course
A group consists of a maximum of five participants. This means there is enough time for each student to speak and ask questions. An advantage of group lessons is that you can practice together during class. The pace during the lessons is more or less fixed. It is occasionally possible to attend the class online.
Duo lessons
Take a course with your partner, a colleague or a friend. Together you determine the pace and the number of hours per lesson / lessons per week. Duo lessons have the flexibility of an individual course and the advantage of practicing together as a group course.
Individual lessons
You determine the number of hours per lesson / lessons per week and the content of the course is based on your wishes, of course to the extent possible in terms of available
hours. Starting at level A2, you can also practice with subject-specific assignments focused on your work situation.
