Upper-Intermediate Dutch – intensive (B1 → B2)

Do you already have a solid foundation in Dutch but still find it difficult to understand texts and respond quickly and spontaneously? In the Advanced Dutch (B2) course, you’ll learn to listen, read, write, and speak Dutch at an advanced level. You’ll practice the language through topics such as sustainability, work and the economy, and infrastructure and urban planning. This will help you expand your vocabulary and respond and communicate more quickly in everyday life.

In 34 Dutch lessons:

• you can understand most authentic, contemporary texts, audio, and video;
• you can respond to a complaint and give a (brief) presentation;
• you actively participate in conversations and discussions in Dutch;
• you write emails and texts in which you exchange information and/or share your opinion;
• you’ll expand your vocabulary by about 2,000 new words;
• You’ll communicate with greater confidence in academic, professional, and personal settings.

Standard or Intensive Option
This course consists of 34 sessions and is available in two options. In the standard option, you attend classes twice a week. If you choose the intensive option, you attend classes four times a week and complete the course at a faster pace. The content and learning objectives are the same for both options.

In the course, you will work toward language level B2. This level corresponds to the State Exam in Dutch as a Second Language (NT2), Program II. Upon completion, you will have developed advanced skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. After the course, you can continue with Advanced Dutch Course (B2→B2+).

This course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn Dutch as a second language (NT2). You have completed our course Semi-advanced Dutch (B1) or you have achieved language level B1 through another route. During the course you work actively and independently on your learning goals, both in class and during self-study.
