CONTENT
Introduction to Dutch was developed to ease you into the process of learning Dutch. The course focuses on everyday language which you can immediately put into practice, such as greetings, common signs, useful phrases for shopping, travel, ordering at a restaurant, etcetera. Additionally, several aspects of Dutch culture are covered during the course. Through this practical and interactive approach, we want to help you jumpstart your Dutch learning process, making it easier for you to later combine the level-based courses with your studies and/or work.
After the fifth lesson there is a mandatory quiz. This quiz is a final and mandatory part of your Introduction to Dutch course. It offers you a preview of the level-based courses (A1 and up) and helps ensure that you know what to expect when starting these courses. You have to answer all questions correctly to get your certificate for the course and to move on to A1.
