01 / INTRODUCTION
About this course
Learning a new language gives you more opportunities to communicate, grow and connect with others.
Would you like to speak Dutch more confidently and manage everyday, work and study situations more independently? Intermediate Dutch – B1 at Kulin in Eindhoven builds on your A2 foundation. You will develop the language skills needed to communicate more clearly, describe experiences and explain your opinions in familiar situations.
This Dutch B1 course includes 12 classroom lessons of 90 minutes over 6 weeks. With two lessons per week, you can practise regularly while having time to review between sessions. Lessons focus on practical speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary and grammar.
You will practise conversations about work and education, making and changing appointments, describing events and plans, and understanding information from organisations. You will also learn to support a simple point of view, ask relevant questions and request clarification when needed.
At Kulin, practical communication is at the heart of learning. Rather than simply memorising rules, you will use new vocabulary and sentence structures in conversations and exercises. This helps you become more confident using Dutch beyond the classroom, including with colleagues, neighbours and service providers.
In addition to classroom teaching, you receive access to e-learning and study materials to review topics and practise independently. Both are included in the course price, with no additional study-material charges.
Lessons take place in Eindhoven. This course is designed for adults with approximately A2-level Dutch who want to progress towards B1. For €329, you receive 12 lessons of 90 minutes, a total of 18 classroom hours, including e-learning and study materials.
