Pieter Quint Instituut, Cursussen Nederlands voor anderstaligen (NT2)
Since the beginning of the 1990s Taalles has specialised in providing courses in Nederlands als Tweede Taal (NT2) – Dutch as a second language.
Courses are offered at all levels, from beginners, to preparation for the Staatsexamen ‘Nederlands als Tweede Taal’ and beyond, right up to the most advanced level.
Taalles is situated in a quiet residential area within easy reach of the city centre and barely 10 minutes walk from Utrecht’s central station. The building has three attractive classrooms, all with audio equipment, a language laboratory for oral practice and other study materials available for students’ use.
Before you register for a course we would like to invite you to an informal preliminary meeting. During our conversation we form a picture of your needs and expectations. We can also judge the appropriate level for you, if necessary by means of a test. It is also important for us to know something about your background, so that we can place you where you feel comfortable with the level and pace of learning, as well as with the other members of the group.
We will ask you, for example:
-
Do you have previous experience of learning another language?
-
Do you have much experience of studying?
-
How much time do you have to do homework?
-
In what way and how much do you come into contact with the Dutch language in your daily life?
We offer courses at all levels:
At all levels there are different types of courses:
-
