Dutch Courses

Dutch is spoken by 23 million people, not only in the Netherlands, but also in Belgium, the Caribbean, and South America. Having to share a small space among many people, the Dutch have learned to be very assertive in their opinions and needs.

The Dutch language reflects these traits in many ways with directness being a key characteristic of their social interactions. Dutch has some unique concepts, like gezellig, which is akin to cosy in English, but describes an intrinsically social experience.

There is also gedogen, a verb that means to tolerate and usually refers to unlawful behaviour that is considered normal, like the use of certain drugs, which are technically illegal but accepted. There is also the word lekker, which can mean good and applies to food, situations and people.

As our course progresses you will learn basic everyday expressions, pronunciation, basic structures and vocabulary. During our Dutch 101, Part 1 course (next offered in Term 1 in February 2023) there will be an emphasis on speaking and listening skills, as the similarities between English and Dutch make writing and reading less challenging for native English speakers.

During subsequent Terms (Dutch 102-104) we begin to add more reading and writing and continue to introduce new grammar, vocabulary and conversational practice.

EarthDiverse is pleased to present one of our newest language programmes, Dutch. This course begins with learning some basic conversation, vocabulary and introductory grammar. Learning about Dutch culture is an integral a part of our study.

Our Dutch Programme is specifically designed for new Dutch learners. Our language and culture courses focus on teaching and learning only, and we do not expect you to study outside of class nor do we assign homework.

Come and spend 12 class hours per Term (eight 1.5 hour weekly classes) learning Dutch and and about Dutch culture, and have some fun too! All of our language classes are designed for busy people.

When completing one 8-week course, each cohort can begin advancing to the next course in the series.

Dutch Language

It may not be obvious from how Dutch sounds, but apart from Frisian (which is spoken in the Dutch province of Friesland), it is the modern language closest to English and thus the easiest language to learn for native speakers of English!
