The best place to learn a language is of course the country itself. Whether you want to order a drink at a bar, ask for directions or have a conversation at a Dutch birthday party: during our summer courses, you will get completely immersed in the language.
In the Netherlands, this might be a bit more difficult, as many Dutch people tend to respond in English. But luckily, our summer courses are here to help! We offer intensive immersion courses with lessons every day for one week, as well as longer, less intensive courses with one or two lessons per week. During these courses, you’ll speak almost exclusively in the target language, the groups are small, and the atmosphere is summery (hopefully, as we’re still in the Netherlands). There are courses for beginners (A1.1 to A2.1) and conversation courses for more advanced students (A2+ and B1+).
The summer immersion courses take place between 22 July and 3 August, and consist of 5 days of 3 hours of lessons per day, plus an activity on day 6 where you can practise what you have learned. During the summer immersion courses, you can follow both A1.1 and A1.2 or A1.2 and A2.1 in a row or opt for only one week and one level.
The regular A1.1 courses take place between 22 July and 5 September, with 2 lessons of 1,5 hours per week (12 lessons in total). If you’re already more advanced, there are also conversation courses for A2+ and B1+ levels between 22 July and 5 September, with one lesson of 1,5 hours per week (6 lessons in total).
