Course content
During Dutch Beginners 1, you will learn listening, reading, writing and speaking in Dutch. Grammar and vocabulary are an important part of the course. You will learn things like the names of colours, times, and how to count in Dutch.
Once you have completed the course, you will be able to introduce yourself and tell something about your work, your family and hobbies. You will be able to understand another person talking about these topics if they speak slowly and clearly.
Much of what you learn will be perfect for use during a holiday in the Netherlands. You will be able to:
- understand signs in the street, at stations and in restaurants
- order something in a bar or restaurant
- write a short letter to thank or congratulate someone, or give a written apology
As it is important that you learn the correct pronunciation from the start, a good deal of attention will be paid to this. You will learn the proper pronunciation of short and long vowels, and where the stress lies in words and sentences.
The grammar you learn during this course includes:
- correct position of the subject, verb and other clauses and/or verbs in a short sentence
- correct use of inversion
- the difference between the articles de and het.
Certificate
You will complete the course with an oral and written exam.
If you successfully complete this course, you will receive a certificate showing the level you have attained and you will be able to continue to Dutch Beginners 2.
Course material

What is the difference between an online and in class course? Can I combine an online and in class course?
There is no difference in the course content and course material between the online and in class course, only a difference in format. The online courses take place via Zoom and the in class courses at the Roeterseiland in Amsterdam. By using breakout-rooms teachers will aim to provide the same interaction as during an in class course. In both formats students are expected to actively participate in the course.
The choice for an online or in class course depends on your personal preference for location and teaching style.
It is not possible to combine an online and in class course. If you start a course online, you will follow the entire course online. The same applies to in class courses. This is in order to ensure the peace in our classes and avoid a lot of changes between classes.
How much time should I expect to spend on studying by myself?
Students generally need to spend double the amount of time of the course on studying by themselves. This means that if your course is 40 hours of class, you can expect about 80 hours of homework and self study. In our experience, the more time you invest in homework, the more you benefit from your course.
Which teacher will teach my group course?
In the week before the start of the course you will receive your final course confirmation which mentions your teacher.
At UvA Talen we have a variety of professional teachers with years of experience teaching to adults. Due to our feedback sessions with teacher we can guarantee the quality of our teachers. We have set standards for the qualification of our teacher. Depending on the type of course, we will often choose for a native speaker of your language.
