Dutch Course C1.1: B2 to C1.1
In the C1.1 course, you continue practising Dutch at an advanced level. You will work on giving presentations, taking part in discussions, and writing summaries.
In the C1 courses (C1.1 and C1.2), you will further develop your skills in giving presentations, holding discussions, and speaking about complex (academic) topics. You will expand your vocabulary and review words and phrases that help structure texts. You will practise summarising texts, both in writing and speaking. Pronunciation will also be addressed, and grammar will be practised throughout.
Course materials: We use Nederlands naar Perfectie (book and website). Additionally, you will use the custom Lest Best Study Guide.
The C1 courses are semi-intensive (9 weeks per course). During the lessons, you’ll take part in fun and varied group tasks based on what you studied at home. There is plenty of time for individual questions, and your teacher will offer personal guidance.
At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance.
- Semi-intensive language course
- Personal guidance
- Final interview with personal study advice
- Certificate of attendance
These fees include the cost of study materials (varies per course).

Due to the pace and nature of our courses, previous experience with learning a foreign language is a prerequisite for registration. In most cases, this will be English, but it may also be another foreign language, such as Spanish. We also expect participants to demonstrate sufficient commitment and motivation, as well as respect for commonly accepted norms and values in the Netherlands.
