Welcome to Koentact’s Dutch B2 courses! Designed for learners who have mastered the basics and are ready to communicate with greater confidence, nuance, and accuracy, our B2 Dutch courses take your Dutch to the next level.
In these courses, you’ll learn to express your opinions and ideas in more detail, take part in discussions and debates, understand Dutch news and cultural topics, and use more advanced grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions. Our experienced and friendly teachers make learning practical, social, and interactive, so you can use your Dutch naturally in everyday life, at work, and beyond.
Our B2 programme consists of three courses: Dutch Deli 1 (B2.1), Dutch Deli 2 (B2.2), and Dutch Deli 3 (B2.3). You can start Dutch Deli 1 after completing Dutch Challenge 3 (B1.3) or after an assessment confirms that your Dutch is at the right level. Each course builds on the previous one, helping you progress from confident B2 communication towards an upper-advanced level of Dutch.
At B2 level, you move beyond everyday communication and start using Dutch with greater fluency, nuance, and confidence. You can express your ideas in more detail, understand different perspectives, and adapt your language to a wider range of situations.
For example, you can take part in discussions and debates, talk about social and political issues, understand Dutch news and newspaper articles, and express yourself using more complex grammar and idiomatic expressions. You can also give presentations and write about topics that interest you, both at work and in your personal life.

At Koentact, you develop your Dutch through Dutch Deli 1 (B2.1), Dutch Deli 2 (B2.2), and Dutch Deli 3 (B2.3). Each course builds on the previous one, helping you become a more confident and independent Dutch speaker and progress towards upper-advanced Dutch.
At Koentact, we offer three Dutch course levels within CEFR B2, allowing you to build your skills step by step and become a more confident, fluent Dutch speaker. At B2 level, you move beyond everyday conversations and learn to express yourself with more detail, nuance, and flexibility. You can discuss social and political topics, understand Dutch news and culture, give presentations, and take part in longer discussions and debates.

🏠 Waar woon je?
Ik woon sinds 2019 met mijn partner in een driekamerappartement in de Rivierenbuurt. Daarvoor heb ik nog een tijdje in Oud-West gewoond.
🏡 Kun je jouw huis beschrijven?
Het is een comfortabel driekamerappartement op de vierde verdieping van een appartementencomplex. We huren dit van een woningbouwvereniging.
❤️ Wat vind je van je huis en waarom?
Ik huur het appartement sinds 2019. Hoewel het een mooi appartement is, zit ik erover na te denken om binnenkort een huis te kopen. Nu we een kind hebben, hebben we behoefte aan meer ruimte en een tuin.
🌆 Wat vind je van de buurt en waarom?
De Rivierenbuurt is een levendige buurt. Nu wij in een andere levensfase terechtkomen zijn we echter op zoek naar meer rust en ruimte. We willen daarom iets verder buiten het centrum gaan wonen, waar meer parkeergelegenheid is voor de auto en waar ons kind veilig buiten kan spelen.
