Foundation Dutch

Michel Thomas Foundation Dutch

£80

Twelve hours of structured learning takes you from the basic building blocks of the Dutch language to creating your own sentences.

 

Listen as two students with no previous knowledge of the language are guided through the foundations of the language and join in as the third student in the class. Pause and respond when prompted to start to put your speaking skills into practice. The courses are unscripted: you hear the students’ real progression from absolute beginners to confident speakers – including their mistakes and the teacher’s corrections. You’ll learn in small, manageable steps, building your ability to produce ever more complicated sentences.

 

You will start with common and loan words, giving you a substantial starting vocabulary within your first hours of learning. By the end of the course, you will be confidently formulating sentences in the present, future and past tenses.

 

This course is taught by Cobie Adkins-de Jong and Els Van Geyte according to the principles of the Michel Thomas method. Cobie Adkins-de Jong is a native speaker who has taught both Dutch and German at universities and language centres. Els Van Geyte is a native speaker and an Applied Linguist who has taught Dutch in Further Education in the UK.

Why learn Dutch?

 

Dutch is the name of the official language spoken by more than 20 million people in the Netherlands and in Flanders, the Northern part of Belgium – together they are sometimes called the Low Countries, or “Lage Landen”. Contrary to what many people would have you believe, particularly the Dutch, it is a relatively easy language to learn. Dutch is particularly easy for speakers of English, because of the many similarities in vocabulary amongst the Germanic language family.
