Are you interested in learning a new language? Would you like the opportunity to meet our teachers, learn more about our school and language courses, and experience a free Arabic, Dutch, French, Farsi, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, or Turkish trial lesson before making a decision? We invite you to join us for our open day and ‘borrel’ on Saturday, 30 August at Gerard Doustraat 220.

Our open day is the perfect opportunity to explore your language learning options at Taalhuis Amsterdam. You can join trial lessons for various Taalhuis languages, and attend intake sessions to determine your level and needs before signing up for a course. While the trial lessons take place in our classrooms, you’re welcome to join the ‘borrel’ at our café, where you can enjoy drinks and bites, chat with fellow students and teachers, and take a look at our language-themed merchandise.

Trial lessons and intake sessions are completely free and you can join as many sessions as you want. Please reserve your spot in advance.

Save the date in your calendar and stay tuned to the Taalhuis events page for the full schedule.

FAQ

How can I register for a trial lesson or an intake?
Please fill in the registration form with the required information. You will receive the confirmation for each session you signed up for via email the week before the open day.

What is an intake?
An intake is a short appointment with one of our teachers to decide which course or what type of lessons (private or group) would be the most appropriate for your level and needs. Unlike a level assessment, you will not take a comprehensive test or get a certificate.

I am a student at Taalhuis, can I still join?
Of course! The open day is open for everyone and we’re happy to welcome our students too. If you want to enroll in a course but are not sure about your level, you can have an intake or join trial lessons to have a sneak peek of the courses you want to join. You can also just come by to catch up, say hi, and chat with our teachers and other students while you’re enjoying your drinks during our borrel.

Can I schedule a level intake for another time?
Yes! Please email us at info@taalhuisamsterdam.nl and we will contact you to schedule an appointment. The intake session will take approximately 15-20 minutes and will be on location or online (via Zoom).

I have another question.
Send us an email to info@taalhuisamsterdam.nl and we will respond as soon as possible.
