Our Story
115 years in the making, our story continues to evolve every day, defined not just by our achievements but by the unique character of our people and this remarkable city.

The official Dutch language, Standard Dutch, knows many variants and dialects. For example, in Suriname and Belgium (Flemish) the language varies in accent and pronunciation. The classroom is a perfect place to exchange stories and experiences.
Dutch courses are offered at all levels from complete beginners to Very Advanced (Levels A1 to C2) and are delivered by qualified and experienced Dutch mother-tongue teachers.
With our courses you will gain a sense of accomplishment after only a short time learning. In no time at all you will be able to have those all-important meetings and conversations with your Dutch-speaking colleagues.
Dutch is closely related to the English and German languages. In fact, some say it’s the easiest foreign language for native English speakers to learn! Some English words, like apple, green, yacht, and freight, come directly from the Dutch language.
We offer a wide variety of languages from complete beginners through to advanced level. If you're unsure of your level, you can take our online test designed to determine the best class for you. Classes take place in the evening or on Saturdays.
