Dutch B1.1 Intensive Course
Dutch B1.1 intensive Course
Improve your Dutch to a highly acceptable level in a group of up to eight students. Across 10 live sessions, held twice a week, you will cover units 1–2 of Nederlands in actie and practice Dutch for a variety of situations. You will improve your speaking, listening, reading, and writing while building essential, more advanced vocabulary and grammar. If your goal is the inburgering exam, this course is a useful, important, and practical step. However, it is not a dedicated exam-preparation course. You will need to study independently and practice the exam format separately.
