Basics 2 – For people who have some basis, but like to expand their vocabulary and speaking confidence (A1)
Speaking Skills – For people who have quite a strong basis (A2/B1) but struggle to speak with confidence in more realistic, unstructured settings

Homework:
We don’t give you mandatory homework activities but we provide you with suggestions of ways you can continue learning German outside of the sessions.
Community access
The course comes with two months of community membership. Of course, most of these activities are focused in on Dutch and not German. However, we do usually have a German table at our Thursday evening language exchange, and we will organize more German-related activities in the future.
The details: Upon registration you will receive a discount code that makes your first two months of membership free, except for €0.50 activation costs. Your membership will then continue automatically, so don’t forget to cancel if you only want to use your two months of free membership. You can of course also try our events without activating a membership by paying the event entry fees.
Group size
We work with SMALL FOCUSED GROUPS of between 4 and 8 students.
English
Some parts of the course will be in English (introductions and more complex explanations), so a basic English level of participants is assumed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What about grammar? Don’t you need to study grammar to learn a language?
During the course, we focus on acquiring grammar naturally through extensive comprehensible input. Over time, correct grammar will feel instinctive, without knowing the exact rules. This approach is more effective than memorizing complex grammar rules, which can hinder your ability to speak fluently in real conversations, as in real conversations you don’t have time to think about these rules, you just have to speak!
We are not the only ones who believe this is an effective way to learn. Research supports learning through comprehensible input. If you want to read more about it, see for example this page.
