Covid-19 update:  On the 12th of January 2021, the lockdown has been extended at least up until the 9th of February. Any classroom-based courses running or starting during this period will have lessons online in a virtual classroom until the restrictions are lifted. 
 

OUR DUTCH COURSES

Dutch First offers a variety of language courses throughout the year ranging from four to sixteen weeks standard courses and two to eight weeks intensive courses, to a complete One-Year Program. Our secret to effective teaching and student success begins with our small class size (6 - 14), which enables teachers to maximize their attention on the individual student while guaranteeing them a dynamic learning environment. All of our courses are conducted in the target/taught language.  

 

Dutch First follows the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels when teaching Dutch. A table is provided below to clarify how Dutch First courses align with the Dutch Language Plan and CEFR Levels.
