Dutch Facts
Many Dutch speakers assume that Afrikaans is a dialect of Dutch - it is in fact a separate language, though it mainly evolved from Dutch
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'

Dutch courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Dutch to aid them with their employment.

Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Dutch, as well as survival Dutch should a short stay in the country be needed.

Milton Keynes
A large town in northern Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes has a population of around 185,000. One of the UK's "new cities", its site was deliberately chosen to be equidistant from London, Birmingham, Leicester, Oxford and Cambridge, with the plan that it would become a major regional centre in its own right. The city's careful planning is made evident by the organisation of the city's various districts: the city centre's Shopping District is 1 mile long - the longest in Europe. The Theatre District features many bars, clubs, restaurants and the famous Milton Keynes Theatre. The Entertainment District features cinemas, restaurants, clubs, shops, and a real snow ski slope.
