Social Dutch II

Did you complete Social Dutch I and would you like to continue learning Dutch? Or have you already acquired some basic Dutch and would you like to expand your knowledge, for example by learning how to talk about the past? In that case, our Social Dutch II course is just the thing for you.

Keep me informed
General

What will the course bring you?

In this course we use the book Start.nl part 1 – Dutch for beginners. You will be doing chapters 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. These chapters will teach you to ask about arrival and departure times in public transportation, to talk about your house, to talk about events in the past, to order something in a bar or restaurant, and to know what you can say in a shop.

During classes the focus is on communication and actively engaging with this material.

Target group

To start at Social Dutch level II, some prior knowledge of Dutch is required. If you have passed Social Dutch level I, you can participate in level II. You can also start at level II if you have studied Dutch before, for example in your home country. In this case, you need to schedule an intake so your level of Dutch can be assessed.

Certificate and final level

This course will take you from level Halfway to A1 to level A1(CEFR). After the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance (provided you have attended at least 80% of the classes). If you want to continue learning Dutch, you can follow Social Dutch III.

Approach and content

Dutch is spoken as much as possible during classes. 

After this course, you will be able to:

  • Ask where the bus goes / stops
  • Ask about arrival and departure times
  • Book a trip and book a hotel room
  • Talk about your house and ask someone's address
  • Talk about events in the past
  • Talk about holiday activities
  • Order in a bar or restaurant
  • Make a reservation at a restaurant
  • Talk about food and drinks
  • Ask and talk about clothes in a store

Culture and history influence the language of a country. That is why this course will also pay attention to interesting and relevant aspects of Dutch culture and history. Knowledge about these topics will make it easier to understand Dutch people and their responses.

Course material

  • Start.nl 1 (ISBN: 9789046905661)

The course material can be purchased at . Course material is not included in the course fee.

Course fees

  • Regular fee: € 550,-
  • RU students and staff and Radboudumc staff: free of charge, provided that they meet the following criteria:
  1. You meet the 80% attendance requirement. If you do not meet these requirements, you will be charged the course fee that applies to your situation: 10% discount for employees and alumni, and 50% discount for students.
  2. Students of uu77: you can attend two Dutch courses for free. If you want to follow another Social Dutch course, you get 50% discount on the course fee.

Instead of two Social Dutch courses, you can also take one free evening class as a RU student.

Determine your level with a free intake

If you already have some prior knowledge of the Dutch language, registration is preceded by a free intake interview. In this interview your level is assessed. If you have already obtained a Dutch as a Second Language certificate, please bring these to the interview, as well as your student pass or student number. 

If you completed Social Dutch I with us, an intake won’t be necessary and you can immediately sign up for Social Dutch II.​

Registration

Please note:

  • You can only register if you have an IBAN number. For RU students and staff, we ask for this in case the abovementioned requirements are not met. 
  • At the end of the registration form, it is stated that a direct debit will take place on a certain date. For RU students and staff who meet the requirements, this does not apply to Social Dutch. Please rest assured that if you attend at least 80% of the classes, the course fee won’t be charged.
  • Our correspondence will be sent to the email address that you are registered with at uu77, so make sure to check your (student) account(s).
  • The person or organisation paying the course fee will receive the invoice after the course has started.

This course starts every year in October, January/February and April/May. If you would like to take this course, but is it fully booked or your desired start date has not yet been listed, let us know that you would like to be kept informed, and we will let you know when you can sign up for new dates.

High demand: don’t miss out!
