About this book

This Dutch course book is designed for adult learners at the A1 level, focusing on practical communication skills and preparing students for NT2 and CNaVT exams. The book follows CEFR-based learning outcomes and adheres to EU teaching guidelines, making it an ideal resource for both self-study and classroom use. Developed in collaboration with several European universities, it is a trusted method for adult language education across Europe. The book covers 45 practical topics that are relevant to real-life situations, structured around clear "can-do" statements to guide learners through the language acquisition process. It integrates essential grammar, vocabulary, and dialogues, with simplified real-world materials, including videos, websites, and reading texts, all tailored to the A1 level. Students will have access to integrated audio and video resources, and can benefit from optional AI-driven corrections through the coLanguage app. This feature allows for personalized feedback, progress tracking, and automatic adaptation of exercises based on individual learning needs. The coLanguage portal also supports interactive writing practice and provides additional resources such as online exercises and downloadable PDFs. For speaking practice, students can work with a coLanguage teacher, while writing corrections can be submitted via the coLanguage portal. The book provides a comprehensive approach to all four language skills: writing, speaking, listening, and reading. With around 60-80 learning hours, this book is ideal for semester-long courses and supports both classroom and online teaching. It is part of a complete series from A1 to C1, offering a progressive and structured path to mastering Dutch. The book is also available in multiple languages, making it suitable for multilingual classrooms and self-study.
