The Netherlands a place to live and work

Every Expat has different and specific reasons to learn Dutch. For instance, because it is required on the work floor or to build a better social network. The mother tongue and any other languages spoken usually indicate the pace and relative ease one has to learn the Dutch language.  In order to design a tailor-made training we first conduct a personal intake interview. During the intake we review and discuss your ambitions, goals and the optimal effective training format.
If you already have some basic Dutch language skills ( i.e. language training in your country of origin) we can then determine which proficiency entry level test is best suited for you.

The ” Dutch for Expats”  module combines both language and culture. After all, effective communication is narrowly linked to one’s mastery of the language, and being familiar with the prevailing norms and values of the country you are settling in. Cultural differences and backgrounds, both in private or on a professional level play a significant role in the life of an Expat. Especially during the initial phase of settling in your new country. Do you recall what you first noticed about the Dutch and Netherlands? What is different when you compare the living and working routine in the Netherlands, with your own country? Being familiar with the Cultural and Social differences is fundamentally important for the Expat.
