Hun or hen? U hebt or u heeft? Dat or wat? Gedachtegang or gedachtengang? Do you regularly doubt the correct spellings of words, how they are used or sentence construction? This tailor-made course will refresh your knowledge of the Dutch language and you will be able to write more confidently.
Who is this course intended for?
For everyone who wants to be able to write letters, emails and other kinds of texts in Dutch.
Content and approach
You will take a short diagnostic test beforehand that immediately shows which language components require extra attention. We then compile the programme based on your test results. We can address various mistakes you regularly make in this format.
The course is instructive, stimulating and engaging. The alternation between fill-in-the-blank exercises, text and explanation, quizzes, film clips and a final test provide the necessary dynamics.
Possible stumbling blocks that may be addressed:
Spelling of verbs and common errors:
- gebeurd of gebeurt?
- gecancelled or gecanceld?
- geklaploopt or klap gelopen?
General spelling:
- Writing words separately or together: back-upplan or backupplan?
- Tussen –n en –s in compound nouns: wezenloos of wezeloos?
- Capitalisation: raad van bestuur of Raad van Bestuur?
- Punctuation: comma, semicolon, or colon?
Sentence structure:
- Stylistic errors, dual meaning of words and incorrect contractions.
- Inconsistencies in plural and singular forms.
