Our teaching method

In our ‘Beginner’ courses towards level A1 (CEFR*), we use the textbook Start.nl part 1. In our ‘Elementary’ courses (from A1 to A2) we use the textbook Start.nl part 2. This method is for people who want to learn Dutch quickly in a communicative and interactive way. The website and textbook are equally important, each chapter starts with ‘preparation’ on the website. After the preparation on the interactive website, students can put their new knowledge into practice in class. In every chapter there is also attention for Dutch culture.

In our ‘Intermediate’ courses (from A2 to B1) we use the textbook Nederlands in actie, in the ‘Upper Intermediate’ courses (from B1 to B2) the textbook Nederlands op niveau. Homework for all courses is approximately 2 to 3 hours a week (20 to 30 minutes per day). Classes are confirmed after the minimum number of students have paid the tuition fee**.

Our teachers are all Dutch natives, with in-class and online teaching experience. The teachers live or have lived in Taiwan and are familiar with culture and language, which gives them the understanding of particular difficulties for Mandarin speakers to learn the Dutch language. The language of instruction is Chinese and/or English.
