Our online Dutch for Adults program are language classes for adults. Our courses are divided into Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. These courses correspond with ERK-levels A0 up to B2.
We use the books De Delftse Methode and Zichtbaar Nederlands, as well as other materials the teacher wants to use. This is an all-rounded language course: our courses mainly focus on reading and speaking skills, but we do practice writing and listening as well.
Courses are 22 weeks from September – May or January – August. We follow a format of ‘3 classes on and one class off’. All classes are online, but our team will plan several informal meetings to encourage students to meet with each other and practice their Dutch.
Our course syllabus is created on Notion, which is easy to use. All students will have access to Zoom, course materials, personalized homework exercises and additional materials through here.
If you are working towards obtaining the CNaVT certificate, please let your teacher know beforehand.

Course details:
The Basic Dutch level I (A0-A1) is a beginners’ course and open to anyone. No prior knowledge of the Dutch language is required. At A1 level Dutch, you’ll build the foundation of the language: learning to understand and use simple phrases, introduce yourself, and manage everyday situations with confidence.
The Basic Dutch level II (A1-A2) is open to anyone who participated in our Basic I class, or for anyone having a basic understanding of Dutch. At A2 level Dutch, you’ll strengthen your foundation and start expressing yourself more freely. You can talk about your daily life, share opinions in simple ways, and understand conversations about familiar topics.
The Intermediate Dutch (A2–B1) is open to anyone who participated in our Basic II class, or for anyone who is comfortable with A2 level Dutch, meaning you are able to talk about everyday topics, share basic opinions, and following straightforward conversations. At this level, you’ll move beyond the basics and learn to express yourself clearly in everyday situations. You can describe experiences, connect ideas, give your opinion in more detail, and take part in longer conversations.
The Advanced Dutch (B1-B2) is open to anyone who participated in our Intermediate II class, or for anyone who has gone through the most important grammar of the language and is able to talk about unfamiliar topics. This course will focus on using Dutch confidently and naturally. At the end of this course you will be able to join more complex discussions, give detailed opinions, and understand the main idea of longer conversations spoken in a fluent pace.
