Content

To start at Social Dutch level II, some prior knowledge of Dutch is required. If you have passed Social Dutch level I, you can participate in level II. You can also start at level II if you have studied Dutch before, for example in your home country. In this case, you need to schedule an intake so your level of Dutch can be assessed.

In this course we use the book Start.nl part 1 – Dutch for beginners. You will be doing chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. These chapters will teach you to ask about arrival and departure times in public transportation, to talk about your house, to talk about events in the past, to order something in a bar or restaurant, and to know what you can say in a shop.

We work according to a blended learning method, which means that you prepare for the course online. During classes the focus is on communication and actively engaging with this material.

At the end of the course there will be a curriculum-dependent test. Taking this exam is mandatory if you wish to advance to the next level.
