Winter course Dutch (up to NT2)
Would you like to get the most out of your (time) investment in Dutch classes? TaalTaal has developed its own unique program to help you! Our course program is split into 8 separate modules that each give you a solid foundation for the target level of that module.
You can follow a single 7-week course module or you can take part in the entire program. Our approach allows you to reach the NT2 level within a year. There are two types of classes: normal (1x 2 hours per week) or semi-intensive: (2x 1.5 hours per week).
The new season starts in the week of January 16th 2012. There is no class during school holidays. It is possible to sign up for an already running course.
Please take into account about 2.5 to 4 hours of self-study next to the regular courses. If you need extra help, you can make use our of complimentary self-study sessions every Friday or you can take private classes (reduced fees apply).
