Introduction

This 24-hour Intermediate Dutch Language Course (A2+ -> B1 - Stepping Stone III) further develops fluency in speaking by exploring new themes with a focus on cultural differences, encouraging you to exchange ideas and discuss current affairs.

This course also includes related writing exercises. You will be speaking Dutch from your very first lesson (90% Dutch- 10% English; only for grammar explanations). The maximum group size is 8 for online classes and 10 for face-to-face sessions. The course runs for a total of 24 hours. The course covers vocabulary, grammar, language functions, and culture.
