Dutch as a second language | B1 - part 1

This course is a continuation of Dutch as a second language (level II). You can also follow this course if you already have a decent knowledge of Dutch. During the course a number of more complicated grammar topics discussed. In addition, you increasingly work with authentic Dutch texts. Much attention is paid to speaking and writing skills and to expanding vocabulary. 

Extra information  

The step from A2 to B1 is relatively large. Many new subjects are introduced which require thorough attention. The studyload is too heavy for one course. Subsequently, the course has been split into two consecutive courses: the first is from A2 to A2/B1 and the follow-up course takes you from A2/B1 to B1 level. Both courses consists of 24 lessons of 90 minutes.  

Students who attend at least nineteen of the twenty-four lessons can, if desired, receive a certificate of participation at the end of the course. The teacher is Aye Oosterwoud.
