Our teaching method

Our method Start.nl (part 1) 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 at the book’s website, students can put their new knowledge into practice in class. In every chapter there is also attention for Dutch culture. Homework for the course will be approximately 2 to 3 hours a week (20 to 30 minutes per day). The language of instruction is Chinese and/or English.

Classes are confirmed after the minimum number of students have paid the tuition fee**. Students who don’t have the textbook yet, can buy the textbook during the first class.

More advanced courses

If you already have followed a Dutch language course and have obtained some language skills, DUTCH APPROACH can offer language courses from level A1 to C2. If you are interested in joining one of our more advanced courses, please contact info@dutch-approach.nl.
