Course description

We do have a textbook, but don’t worry—it’s not just for reading! We’ll use it to build a solid foundation and then bring that knowledge to life with engaging, interactive activities that make learning feel like a breeze.

We assume no prior knowledge, so everyone can join!

Classes will be held every Thursday, starting on November 4th, and each lesson will be 2 hours long—giving you plenty of time to learn and practice. And all this for just €75—a small price for a big step into the Dutch-speaking world.

Course outline

The course consists of 10 classes of 2 hours each and 1 exam. The total study load per week is about 4 hours: 2 hours for the class and 2 hours for individual study and preparation. You are allowed to miss a maximum of 2 classes, but this may affect your final grade negatively, as evaluation takes place continuously. After successfully finishing the course plus exam, the students will receive a certificate of completion.

About the exam

To obtain the Daily Dutch certificate, you need to achieve a minimum of 5.5 overall to pass the course. The participation grade is administered weekly, and to receive it you need to hand in the required homework before each class.
