Why learn Dutch at Koentact?

If you’d like to fast-track your Dutch progress in Amsterdam, our Dutch Intensive week will pull you through/serve you well, whether you are a complete beginner or are already experienced with the Dutch language. Living in a foreign country can be a challenge, but even knowing just a little of the local language will make your life so much easier! Along with other internationals and expats, our unique Koentact method allows you to totally immerse yourself in the Dutch language, culture, and life for a full week.

1. Learn Dutch in a small group

An intensive week-long course consists of 33 hours of lessons in 6 days. The classes are small, with a maximum of 6 students, to make sure each student receives the attention he or she needs. Enroll today to start your Intensive Week.

2. Important to know before you start

This is the only Koentact course where you will be able to finish two Koentact levels in one course! The elementary level: Dutch Experience 1+2 (A1) and the pre-intermediate level: Dutch Experience 3+4 (A2).

If you have just arrived in the Netherlands and have absolutely zero knowledge of the Dutch language, it is not advised to do the Elementary A1 level in one go. It is better to join our live evening, morning class, or online class and follow just one course (Dutch Experience 1, A1-). Take it easy on yourself if you are new in the Netherlands!

3. One Field Trip included

Classroom-based learning is all well and good, but at Koentact we strongly believe that you will benefit much more if you can apply what you have learned during our unique Field Trips. The classes focus on theory, while the Field Trip on Saturday is spent putting your new-found knowledge into practice. As an intensive week student, one future Koentact Field Trip is included in your course!

These are not only designed to help you use your newly improved Dutch skills, but also to discover more about the “real” Amsterdam, its interesting locals, and fascinating culture.

4. Free review classes

Since this approach of learning Dutch in a week is quite intensive, you are more than welcome to join our review classes in the second and fourth week after your intensive program, to go over what you have learned.

5. Free coaching for the Civic Integration Examination

From Dutch Challenge 1 (B1-) onwards, you can join our free civic integration workshops. We offer two workshops of 2 hours each. The workshops are consecutive, so taking both will give you information on how to best prepare yourself for het inburgeringsexamen (B1).

6. Evaluation of your progress

Your progress will be evaluated during your course to determine if you are ready to move on to the next level. You will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of your Dutch course.
