Course content

The Social Dutch 3 course is a follow-up course to Social Dutch 2, but can also be taken as a stand-alone course if you already know some Dutch. The main goal of this course is to learn to communicate in Dutch in simple, everyday situations.

What will this course teach you?

Once you have completed the course, you will be able to:

een stad, dorp of landschap beschrijven;
vertellen over het weer;
vertellen wat je op vakantie doet;
een voorstel doen;
een informele e-mail schrijven;
de weg vragen en wijzen;
praten over vervoersmiddelen;
eten beschrijven en beoordelen;
een recept begrijpen;
zeggen wat iemand moet doen;
hoeveelheden benoemen;
vertellen over je woning en meubels;
dingen vergelijken;
beleefde vragen stellen;
de toekomst beschrijven;
formele e-mails schrijven;
adviezen geven;
praten over je gezondheid;
complimenten geven;
naar een mening vragen;
Je eigen mening geven.

Grammar is always discussed in a communicative context and in functional situations.

For example: When you learn to give advice, you simultaneously learn the verb ‘zouden’ because this verb is often used when giving advice in Dutch.

This course will also cover Dutch pronunciation and interesting aspects of Dutch culture.

The lecturer will speak Dutch as much as possible during the course.
