29 Jun 2011
If you would like to learn Dutch, you have two choices: you can start taking a course in your home country or you can study Dutch in Holland.
Courses in Holland
Dutch language courses are usually offered at different levels: beginner, intermediate or advanced level. There are several ways to go about learning Dutch:
- check the library or council office for brochures on courses;
- find a language buddy;
- take classes at an evening school;
- follow a course at a higher education institution;
- follow a summer course.
There are also courses you can take during the summer to learn Dutch. Take a look at the summer courses offered by the Taalunie and see if you are eligible for a scholarship. Note that these courses are intended for advanced students.
Courses in your own country
To find Dutch courses in your home country, you can contact the Dutch embassy.
Neerlandistiek
You can also decide to study Neerlandistiek, the study of Dutch language and literature. Find out more about the possibilities to study Neerlandistiek on our page about Dutch Studies.
