Lest Best


Lest Best is specialised in courses Dutch for foreigners. We organise private lessons and group courses for beginners to very advanced students. All our groups are small; the maximum number of participants is eight for day classes an six for evening classes. All our courses focus on training communicative skills. We offer lessons at our location, but it is also possible to organise in-company courses. We are located at Bedrijvencentrum Vondelparc II Vondellaan 106 in Utrecht, which can be easily reached by public transport. There are parking facilities for visitors.

Target groups


The courses for beginners are geared towards people who have recently come to live in the Netherlands and need Dutch at work and in their private life. Our lessons make you familiar with the Dutch language but also with Dutch society.

The courses for advanced students are designed for people who have been living in the Netherlands for a longer period, but who still have some difficulties with the language, for instance at work.

The lessons


The lessons are taught in Dutch. When necessary, grammar can be explained in English especially during the first two weeks of the courses for beginners. The various skills speaking, reading, listening and writing will be practiced sufficiently, and in a varied way. During the lessons the teacher will correct you in a positive, stimulating way. The focus will be on a correct use of grammar and spelling and a correct pronunciation.

Individual language training Dutch


Central to the individual language training are the specific requirements of the student. The training is characterized by a goal-oriented individual approach, geared to the participant’s specific demands and command of the language. Individual training can correspond very well with the professional background and needs of the student. In this way it is possible to attain a fast and effective learning process. Lesson hours will be arranged by mutual agreement. There are no fixed starting dates for the individual courses. Generally, you can start very soon after the intake procedure.

Group courses Dutch


There are group courses on various levels. Evening classes are once a week and last 12 weeks. The duration of each lesson is 2 hours. Day classes are three times a week and these courses last almost six weeks. Because of the limited group size it is possible to cater for the participants ' specific, individual needs and problems. Group courses will only start after sufficient enrolment.

In-company training Dutch


Our courses can be organized at our location but also in-company for Utrecht and surroundings, both for individuals and groups. After careful consultation with the client and a visit to the organization a course programme is developed in accordance with the requirements. Lesson times and the duration of the course are arranged by mutual agreement. It is also possible to choose between an intensive, short training and a less intensive, long training.

Intake


Before you take part in a course or training there is an intake procedure for everyone who’s not a beginner. The intake usually consists of an interview and a written and oral test. In the interview the client's requirements and the purpose of the training are discussed. The tests assess the client’s command of the language. In case of an individual training, a programme is designed based on the outcome of these tests and interview. Group participation is also based on the outcome of these tests.
