COVID-19: small groups with a 1.5 meters distance

Due to the Coronavirus, fewer students are temporarily placed in a group. Each seat has a minimum distance of 1.5 meters to a different seat. In this way we ensure the safety of our students and teachers. An advantage for you as a student is that you will be taught in small groups! Curious about what else Lest Best does to protect your safety? Read our COVID-19 page.

The registrations for the language courses in December and February are already open. Do not wait too long to register, the number of available course places is limited. So sign up quickly for an intake interview.

What do you learn in the A2 Dutch course?

Course information: Dutch A2

With this A2 course you develop your Dutch to A2-level. Speaking is the most important skill. You learn to ask for and give information (for example at your GP), to make it clear that you do not understand something, to express a complaint, to ask and point the way, to give your opinion and ask someone else's opinion, to promise, to describe, to present with 'this / that is / are' and talking about previous events and experiences. You practice grammarimperfectum and perfectum, separable and reflexive verbs and the use of "will".

During this course we work with the following course materials: the book Nederlands in Gang chapter 9-16 (including e-learning), the YouTube channel of Lest Best (grammar videos), Quizlet and the Lest Best study guide A2.

During this course you will take various tests and assignments: grammar, speaking, pronunciation and intonation and vocabulary. After completing the course you will receive a certificate with your results. We also look at your motivation and effort during the course. If these are sufficient, you can continue with the follow-up course: Dutch A2-B1.
