De Taaldienst is a small-scale language school in the Leiden region, specialized in delivering Dutch language courses to expats and in developing tailor-made (online) business language courses for companies, in particular Italian and Dutch as a second language (NT2).
We offer private courses, group courses and in-company courses. Online or on location and with flexible scheduling.

Language Courses
Language training or language courses come in different forms. You can follow, for example, a regular language course, but you can also opt for a business language course, in which you really focus on the language you need at work. Within the business language courses we offer a number of standard packages, but you can also opt for fully tailor-made courses. These language courses can be fully adapted to your wishes, field of expertise, budget and available time: highly recommended for employers!
