Dutch Facts
Dutch is spoken by around 22 million people, mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium
Dutch uses its own variant of the Latin alphabet. A good way to spot if something is written in Dutch is the amount of double letters - such as the word 'voorraaddoos', which means a 'supply box'
Like English, Dutch includes words that originate from Latin and Ancient Greek, but far fewer than English

These Dutch courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Dutch - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Dutch culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Dutch examination.

Exeter
A sizeable city found in the county town of Devon, Exeter is situated on the River Exe and has a population of around 115,000. Originally Exeter developed as an administrative centre and a port city, as it was founded on the lowest bridging point of the River Exe. Much of the city centre was decimated by the German Luftwaffe in the Second World War, prompting major reconstruction in the 1950s, replacing many historic buildings. As such, while Exeter was previously regarded as second only to Bath for architectural study, Exeter is not dominated by its tourist trade.
