star_navy_blue

The aim of the extensive B1.1 course is to further develop your language skills towards B1 level. This module lasts 9 weeks. You will learn how to describe events and experiences from the past, talk about personal experiences, ask for and express opinions, make and decline proposals, respond to ideas/plans/suggestions, and agree or disagree with someone. Grammar topics include: indirect speech, separable verbs, past perfect (plusquamperfectum), “zou” for wishes, and relative pronouns.

In this B1.1 course, we use the following study materials: the book Nederlands in Actie, chapters 3–6 (including e-learning), the B1.1 study guide, exercises on separable verbs and verbs with prepositions, and the Lest Best YouTube channel for grammar videos.

During this course, you will complete various assessments and assignments: grammar, speaking, pronunciation and intonation, and vocabulary. After completing the course, you will receive a certificate with your results. We also evaluate your motivation and participation. If sufficient, you can continue with the follow-up course: Dutch B1.2.
