Living and working in the Netherlands becomes a lot easier when you understand both the language and the culture. That is why Surviving the Dutch is returning to Pivot Park this October: a practical programme designed to help international professionals improve their Dutch, better understand Dutch culture and connect with others.
Starting on Wednesday 14 October, participants can choose between two levels.
The A1 programme is ideal for beginners with little or no knowledge of Dutch. Over ten language sessions, a certified NT2 teacher will help participants build practical Dutch skills for everyday situations. The programme goes beyond language learning, with three cultural training sessions offering insight into Dutch customs and communication, as well as three social activities and six shared dinners.
Already completed the programme or ready to take your Dutch to the next level? The B1.1 programme focuses on developing greater fluency and confidence in both professional and social situations. It includes ten language sessions, three social activities and three shared dinners, providing plenty of opportunities to put your Dutch into practice.
Both programmes run from 14 October to 16 December, with groups of 8 to 12 participants.
Whether you are just starting to learn Dutch or ready for the next step, Surviving the Dutch offers a welcoming and practical way to develop your language skills, meet new people and feel more at home in the Netherlands.
