Dutch B1.5 Intensive Course
Dutch B1.5 Intensive Course
Improve your Dutch to a highly acceptable level in a group of up to eight students. Across 12 live sessions, held twice a week, you will cover units 9–11 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.
