Can you already manage yourself in Dutch in everyday situations, but do you want to master the language even better? In this Dutch course from the University of Groningen Language Centre, we start at the level between A2 and B1. You will continue to learn to use the language in more complex situations. This course not only makes communicating with colleagues easier but also provides you with the opportunity to get to know other UG staff members! 
Who is this course for?

This course is intended for UG staff members with a pre-intermediate level of Dutch at CEFR level A2/B1. During the course, we work towards level B1.

Plan a consultation
Have you not taken a Dutch course at the Language Centre before? Then it is mandatory to first take a consultation with one of our teachers. 

What will you learn in this course?

The course comprises 12 lessons of two contact hours, and during the course you will learn, among other things:

  • (Te) + infinitive use
  • How to use passive sentences and irregular verbs 
  • To make and use sentences with ‘er’ and ‘zou’ 
  • More about pronouncing words according to colloquial speech

You will receive a lot of personal feedback during these lessons, as you will be taught in a small group of no more than 12 course participants.

How many hours of independent study are required?

You should expect to spend a total of 30 hours on independent study in order to stay on track with the course. This involves, for example, reading texts, learning vocabulary, and completing grammar and writing assignments.

What will you be able to do after the course?
  • Read a Dutch newspaper, magazine, or news website 
  • Participate in conversations with friends and acquaintances
  • Write an email or short text 

After successfully completing this course, you will be ready for the follow-up course Dutch B1>B1/B2 for UG staff.
