star_navy_blue

The aim of the B1.2 course is to develop your language skills to B1 level. This module lasts 9 weeks. You will practise expressing empathy and reassurance, responding in a discussion, saying you are unwilling or unable to speak about something, and giving stronger or more emphatic reactions. Grammar topics include: verbs with te and om … te, separable verbs, er, relative clauses and the passive voice.

In this B1.2 course, we use the following study materials: the book Nederlands in Actie, chapters 7–11 (including e-learning), the B1.2 study guide, exercises with separable verbs and verbs with prepositions, and the Lest Best YouTube channel for grammar videos.

During this course, you will complete various tests and assignments: grammar, speaking, pronunciation and intonation, and vocabulary. After completing the course, you will receive a certificate with your results. We also consider your motivation and participation. If these are sufficient, you may continue with the follow-up course: Dutch B2.1.
