Dutch Facts
The Dutch language is regulated by the Dutch Language Union, 'Nederlandse Taalunie'
There are relatively few non-native Dutch speakers - in its home countries most of its speakers are proficient in a second language, mainly English or German
Dutch pronunciation is often complex for non-native speakers, with many diphthongs and gutturals
You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Dutch teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the course at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant course materials.
Book now / EnquiryDutch courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Dutch to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. 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.
Book now / EnquiryThese courses in Dutch are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Dutch to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Dutch history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Dutch, this is the choice for you.

Newcastle
The 20th most populated city in England, Newcastle resides in northeast England and has a population of around 275,000. Historically famous for its printing presses and glass production, Newcastle's development into a major city was owed much to its export of coal. These days its main industries are office and retail development, which gives local developers a chance to flex their architectural muscle. Newcastle is a popular destination for restaurants, bars and clubs, living up to its reputation as a fun-loving city - The Rough Guide to Britain had Newcastle upon Tyne's nightlife as the UK's number 1 tourist attraction.
