Dutch Facts

Like English, Dutch includes words that originate from Latin and Ancient Greek, but far fewer than English
Dutch pronunciation is often complex for non-native speakers, with many diphthongs and gutturals

Dutch courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements.

Brighton
Brighton is on the south coast of England, and is one of the UK's largest and most prominent seaside resorts. The city and surrounding urban area are extremely popular with tourists, boasting many hospitality and entertainment facilities, and the city is home to around 480,000 people. Brighton and its nearby neighbour Hove were awarded city status in 2000. It is also an educational hotspot, boasting 2 universities and numerous English language schools. Originally a small fishing village called Brighthelmstone, Brighton became a fashionable destination for day-trippers in the 19th century when rail travel first made the idea feasible. A major attraction is the pebble beach, which features many bars, restaurants, nightclubs and arcades; giving Brighton the nickname London-by-the-sea.
