Want to confidently use Dutch in everyday situations? Join our in-person conversation course, offered on Wednesday evenings, with 9 biweekly sessions of 2 hours each. This course is entirely focused on speaking and listening, with no grammar lessons and very minimal reading or writing. It is ideal for anyone looking to supplement their Dutch For Adults course, work on their speaking abilities, or maintain their current level.
Open to everyone who is able to formulate basic sentences independently (Dutch For Adults Basic 1 or higher or CEFR A2 and up). A level assessment may be part of the intake if needed.
Each session focuses on a different everyday theme such as introductions, dining out, shopping, holidays, health, travel, and more. Through conversations and role-plays, you will build vocabulary and gain confidence using Dutch in real-life situations.
Classes alternate between full group activities and small level-based groups so everyone can participate comfortably and speak at their own pace. You will be encouraged to express yourself in a supportive, interactive, and engaging environment. Sessions are lively, social, and playful, making it easy to build confidence and improve fluency without the pressure of a traditional classroom.
We meet in Seattle in the Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA); Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm.
To support a positive group dynamic and learning experience, participants are expected to attend the first and last class and are encouraged to join as many of the other sessions as possible.
Course cohort two: 9 two-hour classes for $350.
All materials are included and no textbook is required.
