Dutch II for International Students (A2-minus)

This course is a continuation of Dutch I for International Students and provides a more expanded basic knowledge of the Dutch language. In this course, you will give two short presentations about various subjects, for example, public holidays. During the lessons, many dialogues and role plays are used.

You can prepare and review the lessons using the online material. You will also receive weekly writing exercises that you must rewrite yourself based on feedback from your instructor.

The cultural subjects dealt with are primarily geared toward practical information such as riding a bicycle, the weather, and health care.

At the end of the course you will be able to

give a compliment
talk with your general practitioner
ask for directions

Final Exam

The course is completed with an oral exam and a written exam.

Target group

International students who have passed the Dutch I or A1 European Framework of Reference course or comparable level. You did not follow a Dutch I course at the Language Center? Then take the level test or look at the differences between Dutch I and II. You can also contact the Student Desk.
