Questions

Frequently asked questions

When does the group start?

Each course starts separately, as soon as there are at least 4 sign-ups for that level. We then set the start date and lesson times, and you get a message. Until then you are not committed to anything.

How much does an online Dutch group course cost?

Each course is an 8-week block with 16 lessons of 90 minutes, 24 lesson hours in total, for €360. That is €15 per lesson hour, including the practice platform with homework and vocabulary trainer. You can also pay in 2 instalments of €180.

Is a group course cheaper than private lessons?

Yes. Private 1-on-1 lessons cost €40 per hour, a group course €15 per lesson hour. In a private lesson all the attention goes to you and you choose the times. In the group you practise with others at the same level and the lesson times are fixed.

What if I miss a lesson?

The lesson material and homework are on the platform, so you can catch up before the next lesson.

Which course is right for me?

Choose the course that starts at your current level: A0 if you are new, A1 if you know the basics, A2 if you already get by in everyday conversations and B1 if you speak fluently but want to reach work or study level. Not sure? Mention it in your message; before the start we briefly check your level together.

Do the courses prepare for an exam?

The courses are general: you learn to speak, listen, read and write for daily life and work. They do line up with the exams: A1→A2 with the A2 civic integration exam, A2→B1 with the B1 civic integration exam and the State Exam NT2 programme I, B1→B2 with programme II. If you have an exam coming up, your homework also includes exam tasks.

In which language are things explained?

The lesson is in Dutch. Where needed, explanations are also available in English, Russian or Ukrainian.

Can I join if I don't live in the Netherlands (yet)?

Yes. The lessons are online, so you can join from anywhere. Lesson times are planned in Dutch time, based on the sign-ups.

How do I pay?

After the start is confirmed you receive a payment request. In one go or in 2 instalments of €180, whichever you prefer.
