All Dutch courses in the 4th period (11 May-17 July 2020) will be taught online via zoom. On set class hours, ‘live’ with teachers and classmates.
Is your first language German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Afrikaans? You will be able to learn the basics of Dutch more quickly. This course is the fast track of 'Dutch for work and study'. Dutch for work and study SPRINT (one module) is identical to Dutch for work and study but the pace is twice as fast: Levels 1.1 and 1.2 in a single course period (September).

Course members are grouped according to their level of Dutch and together you will work on your reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. In the classes at VU University Amsterdam, we will use a multimedia room and a brand new digital language lab. You will receive explanations and instructions and will practice your speaking skills. Outside the classes, you will train your learning and listening skills, vocabulary and grammar. During your course, you will be supervised personally your teacher.
Testing takes place at the end of the course period. If you pass the test, you can graduate to the 2nd level of the Sprint course, or the regular course Dutch for Work and Study level 2.1.
During this course, you will become familiar with the Dutch language, but also with the culture, society and politics of the Netherlands. And you will become acquainted with Dutch traditions such as Sinterklaas!
