Dutch Workshop: Speaking Skills!

Who is this workshop for?

People who already have a basic Dutch knowledge, but who struggle with speaking in more realistic settings and want to become more confident.

What will you learn?

We will focus on four core speaking skills: creative communication, controlling sentences, positive energy and not caring about mistakes. We will not focus on more grammar and vocabulary, rather, on skills that help you get more confident using the vocabulary you already have.

Minimum Dutch level

You should at least know the basics, the most common words and sentences (around A1/A2 level). For example, the following sentences should be easy for you to understand:

Wij hebben dertien weken vakantie. Ik ga met de trein naar mijn werk, en jij? Zij leest een interessant en makkelijk boek. Vorige maand was het herfst, wat een mooie tijd. Ik ben nat, omdat het regent. Waarom eet iedereen hier brood met kaas?
