De Esdoorn offers various courses for adults and teenagers that correspond with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), like A1, A2. We offer Dutch language courses for both beginners and for those with little or extensive prior knowledge.
The courses are divided into three grades: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced.
At the start of level 1 of each grade, only a full program is offered. Each grade consists of 22 lessons of 2 hours, with the final lesson being the exam.
We also offer packages.A package consists of 10 lessons of 1.5 hours. Package lessons are intended for students who wish to start at level 2 or 3 of a grade. This is to help students who already have some prior knowledge of the language improve their skills.
If group lessons do not work for you, we also offer private lessons. All lessons are online.
