Time & Costs investment
The course consists of three modules. Each module consists of 12 sessions in 6 weeks. You have two meetings of 90 minutes a week. The total class time with a tutor is 18 hours in one module.
To ensure that you learn as much as possible from the meetings and complete the course successfully, we expect you to spend approximately twice as many hours doing homework than the number of teaching hours per week on self-study. You will of course receive learning materials and assignments for this, which will be discussed during the meetings.

Method
We use as a teaching method the book 'Nederlands in gang' (€48,50), Dutch for non-native speakers. This book has been specially developed for highly educated people who want to learn Dutch as a second language. We also offer an online learning environment, where your teacher will offer free extra learning materials and you can hand in homework.
Practical information
Our tutors speak of course foreign languages but the language of instruction during the meetings is Dutch.
We count on everyone to have the materials with them for the first lesson and have paid for the course so that we can get off to a good start right away.
