Dutch Beginners 2

Beginners 2 is the ideal course for those who want to build on their basic knowledge of Dutch. Whether you need the language professionally, for your personal development or for the integration exam, such a basis is indispensable for learning any language. This course covers the past tense, the subordinate clause and also the adjective.

We work with De Opmaat during the A1-A2 courses. Once you have successfully completed the Beginners 2 course, you will be able to:

  • tell what you do and have done in the past, want to do, can do, can do and must do
  • explain why you do something or when you would do something
  • act independently in everyday situations: ordering and paying for something, shopping, going to the doctor, etc.

And after that?

Once you have successfully completed the course, you can move on to the next level: Beginners 3. This leads to level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference.

IMPORTANT to know before booking this course...

Lessons are taught in Dutch! That's right - even our Beginners courses. Our teachers are very experienced in teaching foreign languages to beginners, so they will use simple instructions to help you become familiar with the language.

Our aim is to immerse you in the language so that you feel comfortable around it. You will slowly build an understanding of everything you hear, and it will encourage you to try using the language yourself.

You are not expected to understand every word at the start, but as the teacher repeats certain phrases and uses body language and visual clues, you will start acquiring the language at a lot faster rate than if we taught it in English.

If you need your teacher to explain something in your own language / in English, then you are very welcome to ask them - try asking them in Dutch!
