About this event 

Celebrate the Dutch language with us to honour Amsterdam’s 750th birthday this year! Whether you’re an absolute beginner or an advanced Dutch speaker, we have an exciting and interactive event for you filled with workshops at every level, games lead by our experienced Dutch teachers, sing-a-longs, free course prizes and more. 

How will it be structured? Well, upon arrival, you will be placed in a group that coincides with your current level – based on the level you’ve indicated on your sign-up form and confirmed through a short intake upon checking in at our office. From there, you will remain with this group through the entirety of the event - breaking out into smaller groups, practicing new words, playing games organised by the teachers, and eating delicious Dutch snacks catered in by our team. But don’t worry! There will be plenty of moments scheduled to take a break, grab a drink and meet those in the other groups. 

Good to keep in mind

The event takes place from 13:00 – 17:00h, but our doors will open at 12:30 in order to check everyone in on time. Our doors will CLOSE at 13:30h, and we will no longer be letting visitors in past this time. Therefore, we ask that you arrive on time to our office! 

You are expected to stay for the entire event, as you will be guided through various activities in groups. And we promise – it’ll be worth staying for our free course prizes at the end! If, though, you cannot stay the entire time, that’s ok! Let us know in advance what time you will have to leave. Either way, you won’t be leaving empty-handed. Take a pocket-full of knowledge, some UvA Talen merchandise and a special discount voucher with you on your way out!
