InTense is for those who wish to put everything else aside and fully immerse themselves in the language. You follow an intensive, one-on-one lesson plan with a teacher, in a way that fits your situation and needs. The course content and pace are fully tailored to your goals and your level, paying close attention to speaking skills, grammar, listening, reading and cultural context.
What can you expect?
You don’t just learn how it it’s done, but also how it feels! And that’s what makes the difference.
This course is for anyone who wants to make significant progress in a short period of time. Perhaps you’ve just moved to the Netherlands and want to become self-sufficient quickly, or maybe you’ve already mastered the basics of the language and want to advance to a higher level within one week. InTense is also a good option if you are preparing for an exam, a study programme or an important meeting.
We will start with a short conversation to discuss your goals. From there, we’ll create a proposal with a tailor-made schedule and content plan. The course usually lasts five days, with a choice of 4, 6 or 8 hours per day. You can follow the lessons in Amsterdam, online or in a hybrid format. After the course is completed, you’ll have the option to continue learning with individual lessons or E-learning.
Yes! You can also follow an inTense course with a friend, partner or classmate, provided you are all around the same level. This way, you can learn together, practice with each other and still receive personal attention. Would you prefer to learn in a larger group? Take a look at our group courses or contact us to discuss your options.
Interested in learning together with your colleagues? Then an inTense programme for business or an in-company Dutch course might be what you’re looking for.
You can start at any level, from absolute beginner (A0) to advanced (C1). During the intake, we determine your starting point together. Do you already have experience with the language? We can build on top that! Don’t know a word of Dutch yet? Then we will start you from the very beginning, going step by step with clear explanations and practical exercises.
Don’t have a week to spare or would you rather build up your skills gradually? No problem, we have other options for you:
We’re happy to help you choose the course that best suits your needs.
Learning Dutch in one week…how does that work? Imagine practicing conversations, training your listening skills, doing various exercises, making many (good) mistakes and learning a lot from them. Our teachers help you to really use the language – in context, with confidence, and in your own way. From “May I ask you something?” to “Could you explain that again, please?” and “Thank you for the hospitality, I really enjoyed it!”, after one inTense week you’ll already sound a lot more confident in Dutch. And you’ll feel it too!
For example, different languages in mind, more or fewer hours, or prefer learning together with others.
I was very happy with my course, my tutor was informative and patient. I also felt the lessons were well-prepared and organised.
