These Dutch lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Dutch to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Dutch, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

This set of Dutch tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Dutch. Even though all novice students will cover survival Dutch: enough Dutch to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Dutch culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Dutch.

Cambridge
Cambridge is an old English university town, with a population of around 110,000; 22,000 of whom are students. For its size, Cambridge has an unusually diverse ethnic population, mainly due to the attraction of the university to those from overseas. The city was first founded back in Roman times as a useful place for a military outpost from which to defend the river Cam, and is covered in beautifully-restored old buildings which form the colleges of the historic university, as well as many museums and, more recently, many high-tech businesses in the series of science parks and other developments in and around the city.
