Dutch Beginners 2

The Dutch Beginners 2 (A0–A2) course is based on the De Opmaat method and is designed for adults who want to further develop their basic Dutch for everyday life in the Netherlands.
This course follows on from Beginners 1 and is suitable for participants who already have a basic foundation and want to build on it.

What will you achieve?

After completing Beginners 2, you will be able to:

  • Use Dutch in simple, everyday situations
  • Introduce yourself and talk about yourself
  • Ask and answer common questions, for example about where you live or what time it is
  • Count, spell, tell the time and order something
  • Make simple suggestions and respond to them

The focus is on practical Dutch that you can use immediately in daily life.

How does the course work?

All classes take place at our school in Rotterdam. You can choose:

  • One or two lessons per week
  • Daytime or evening classes

Each course consists of 20 to 40 lessons, spread over approximately three months.
You will study in small groups of 6–8 participants, allowing for plenty of personal attention and opportunities to practise speaking.

CBE Languages has been providing language courses since 1997. Our teachers have extensive experience in teaching international learners of Dutch.
