Language Courses
De Taaldienst offers various regular language courses. All language courses are intended for highly educated learners. Please find below our current offer.
Online Dutch Beginners course (A1)
This is the perfect course for those who have just arrived in the Netherlands and want to master the basics of the Dutch language. The online course is organized in small groups, in order to guarantee good guidance. Our approach is very practical: you will learn to speak Dutch from the first lesson.
After completing this A1 course, participants can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. They can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have. They can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
