At the Language Centre, you will learn Dutch at a fast pace with the help of teaching methods we developed ourselves. Our language courses focus on speaking and understanding the Dutch language. This way, you will quickly start to feel more or less at home with the language, and you naturally expand your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary.
This course is aimed at fulltime University of Groningen students, PhD students, and postdocs with a beginner level of Dutch at CEFR level A1. During the course, we work towards level A2. You can take this course at the expense of the Board of the University of Groningen - read all about this arrangement here!
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.
The course comprises 12 lessons. Each lesson lasts two hours in a course on location, and 1.5 hours in an online course. During the course, you will learn, among other things:
You should expect to spend a total of 30 hours on independent study in order to stay on track with this course. This involves, for example, reading texts, learning vocabulary, writing texts, and watching grammar and pronunciation videos.
After successfully completing this course, you will be ready for the follow-up course Dutch for UG students, PhDs and postdocs A2>A2/B1.
During this course, the second half of the book Nederlands in gang is covered. You will need to purchase this book yourself.
This book also comprises an individual login code for a website containing additional exercises, listening fragments, videos, and songs. You need this code to be able to actively participate in the course. You can also purchase the code separately from the publisher Coutinho. This is necessary when you purchase a second-hand copy of the book.
Please note: due to the frequent use of illegal digital versions of this book, participants of the on-site course are required to purchase the paper copy of the book. Digital versions are not allowed. If you had already purchased a legal e-book for a previous course, please email your teacher before the start of your course to report that you have a digital version. A check will be performed during the first lesson to establish whether it is a legal version. If you are taking an online course, a legal e-book is allowed.
Where do I purchase the book?
For years now, the Board of the University has made funds available for a set number of courses per year, through which thousands of internationals have learned to speak their first words and sentences in Dutch! However, the demand is always greater than the number of courses available, which means not everyone may always immediately have a spot in a course. Most courses fill up quickly as soon as registration opens. Would you like to take a course? We advise you to be ready to register the moment registration opens in order to have the best chance of securing a spot in the course.
It is useful to sign up to our newsletter, in which we will let you know as soon as registration opens again. |
