One integrated learning system

Our Dutch courses in Eindhoven combine three components into one structured learning system:

• Dutch lessons with a dedicated teacher
• A structured learning platform for guided self-study
• Course books from A1 to B2, aligned with CEFR

Live lessons focus on speaking, interaction and professional communication, while the platform and books structure your practice between sessions.

CEFR-based Dutch courses from A1 to B2

All our Dutch courses follow a transparent CEFR learning path from A1 to B2. This ensures measurable progress, clearly defined objectives and structured outcomes.

Each level contains 45 structured lessons (or 20–30 in professional tracks). Progress follows defined CEFR objectives, from beginner to upper-intermediate level.

The recommended format combines 8–12 conversation classes with guided self-study over approximately three months per level. If faster progression is required, additional weekly lessons can be added.

Below is an overview of typical themes per level:

A1 - Everyday basics

Introducing yourself, daily life, time and numbers, and describing people, objects, home and city environments.

A2 - Practical independence

Travel and society, planning and appointments, workplace situations and job interviews.

B1 - Professional and social communication

Writing emails, participating in meetings, expressing opinions and emotions, career development, health, social life and business-related situations.

B2 - Advanced professional use

Professional life, economy and law, housing and mobility, healthcare contexts and conference participation.

The structure allows you to build grammar, vocabulary and speaking confidence step by step, always linked to real-life and professional situations in Eindhoven.
