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
Like English, Dutch includes words that originate from Latin and Ancient Greek, but far fewer than English
Our native-speaking qualified Dutch teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Book now / EnquiryThose who would benefit the most from these Dutch tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Dutch to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Dutch, as well as survival Dutch should a visit to the country be necessary.
Book now / EnquiryDutch courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Dutch - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Dutch usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Dutch classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Dutch culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Dutch.

Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster courses in Dutch can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
