Summer Crash Course Dutch - online

Summary
Want to make real progress in Dutch this summer? The Summer Crash Course is designed for professionals who already have a foundation in the language and want to communicate more fluently and confidently. Over a period of up to five weeks, you'll work one-on-one with a dedicated trainer and combine personalised coaching with flexible e-learning. Practical, focused, and tailored to your goals.

Description
You can already follow Dutch conversations, write emails, and participate in meetings—but when it comes to expressing yourself confidently and spontaneously, there is often still a gap.

The Summer Crash Course is designed to help you close that gap.

During the quieter summer months, you'll have the opportunity to focus on your language development without the usual pressure of a busy schedule. Together with your trainer, you'll work on the situations that matter most to you, whether that means speaking more confidently in meetings, communicating more naturally with colleagues, or expressing your ideas more clearly.

The programme combines individual online coaching with self-paced e-learning, allowing you to make meaningful progress in a short period of time. Rather than focusing on reaching a new language level, the course helps you activate the language skills you already have and use them more effectively in everyday professional situations.
