Learn Dutch the most efficient way!
Our students
In 2017 our school welcomed 335 students from 70 countries (up from 100 students in 2015 and 275 students in 2016). 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 book on the fist 3 levels (zero to A2+)
In 2017, we developed our own learning method: Het Lesboek. 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.
E-learning: special offer!
The students of the Dutch Summer School – 2018 will get free access to the e-learning package from 1st of June till 1st of October 2018:
– #dutchgrammar (from 0 till A1)
– #dutchgrammar-2 (from A1 till A2)
– #dutchgrammar-3 (A2/B1)
The package contains video tuition/exercises for self study (homework), but also serve as a backup in case you can not attend a lesson.
Can’t wait? You can also buy premium access that gives you 1 year access to these packages (49€ + tax per level). It can be helpful:
– to prepare online prior to the summer – to enroll on the next level
– to review after your summer school participation
