Learning Dutch & Civic Integration
Why should you learn Dutch? Everyone in the Netherlands speaks English, right? That’s true, but anyone who has learned Dutch can tell you how much of a difference it makes. Speaking the language helps you navigate Dutch society more easily and feel at home faster. In our courses, you’ll learn not only the language but also a lot about Dutch culture. We offer courses at all levels, from absolute beginner to C1.
Not sure about your current language level or which course to choose? No worries! We always start with a level test and provide personal advice.
