Beyond a Language Course: Communicate with the Dutch (13 weeks)

Do you live and work in the Netherlands but find the Dutch language challenging? Do you understand some Dutch yet still struggle to communicate effectively? Many language courses focus solely on grammar and vocabulary, but effective communication goes beyond that. Cultural differences – such as the level of directness and formality – also play a key role. Without grasping these nuances, misunderstandings and uncertainty can arise, both at work and in social situations. In this course, you will not only improve your language skills but also gain insight into how the Dutch communicate. This will help you strike the right tone and express yourself professionally, naturally and with confidence.

What Makes this Language Course Unique?
