Courses Dutch as a second language for children

Course description

Lessons specific for smaller children are possible according to the ‘Zien is snappen’- method. Following the personal interest of the individual child, grammar and vocabulary are transmitted by ‘seeing’, ‘listening’ and ‘repeating’ while playing. The method is developed for small children who are not yet able to read and write, or who only know how to read and write in another language.

Courses Dutch as a second language for teenagers

Course description

In order to motivate teenagers to learn Dutch, it is important to address to them with subjects of their interests. The regular methods (for adults) are therefore less suitable. The book ‘Zeg ‘t eens!’ instead is made especially for 10-18 year old children. It emphasizes conversational skills.

State Exam I and II training

( Contact us for more information about the starting date )

Course description

If you want to do the ‘Inburgeringsexamen’ ****you need to pass the State Exam Level I. Therefore you first need to speak/write/understand Dutch at B1-level. After having reached this level in the language courses, you can have special training to pass the exam successfully. You can download exams from earlier years on your computer, make them, and we will correct them and discuss your mistakes. For correcting and discussing one exam, we charge € 30. This is the best and most inexpensive way to prepare for your STEX I. State Exam Level II gives you access to academic education in Dutch and will make it easier for you to find a job at HBO- or Academic level. First you need to reach the B2-level in Dutch language, then you can do STEX II-training. You can download exams from earlier years on your computer, make them, and we will correct them and discuss your mistakes. For correcting and discussing one exam, we charge € 30. This is the best and most inexpensive way to prepare for your exam. If you want to have the State Exam training, please make a reservation by e-mail to info@dutchforyoutoo.nl. Friday mornings 9.30-10.30 are reserved for this purpose, but other arrangements could be made to choose another day/time option.
