Learn Dutch the most efficient way!
Our students
Every year about 300-350 people from all over the world participate in the Dutch Summer School. Read what they say about their stay; and have a look at the pictures/videos. We had a great time and are looking forward to the next Summer!
Age
People of all ages can participate (minimum age = 18 years). About 35% of our participants is below 25, 40% between 25-40, and 25% is above 40 years old.
Objective
Our students study Dutch because of: relocation to the Netherlands/Flanders, business, civic integration exam, Dutch roots and/or relatives, as a hobby.
Instruction language
Command of the English language is obligatory on the levels 0, A1 and A2 (instruction language). On the higher levels, the teacher speaks only Dutch.

Our own method (levels 0, A1, A2, B1, B2)
In 2017, we developed our own learning method: Het Lesboek (beginner-A2). In 2019 ‘Het Lesboek-2’ (A2-B1) and in 2022 ‘Het Lesboek 3’ (B1/B2). This method integrates with Bart de Pau’s online materials (the online course #dutchgrammar and the ‘Heb je zin?’ videos where Dutch grammar and vocabulary is applied in daily conversations).
The learning method is more than just a book: every lesson is a completely prepared set of presentations, role plays, games, speaking exercises, with a strong focus on applying vocabulary and grammar in real conversations.
Our method is based on the flipped classroom. Learn more in this article why the flipped classroom is so effective.
