Beginner Dutch Course – A1

The beginner journey isn’t one course,

it’s two: A0 to A1, then A1 to A2.

 

Book them together as Double Dutch and you lock in both levels now for €950 instead of €1,000.

Beginner Dutch Course: From A0 to A1

Startdates Eindhoven 2026:

  • Thursday, September 10
  • Wednesday, September 23

Is this the perfect course for you? Find out:

  • Do you have a good understanding of English?
  • Are you comfortable with a fast-paced, intensive learning environment?
  • Do you have a strong educational background to keep up with the accelerated course?

If you answered “yes” to all, you’re a great fit for our Dutch course!

 

Learning Goals

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand and use familiar everyday expressions and basic phrases.
  • Introduce yourself and others, and ask and answer questions about personal details like where you live, people you know, and activities you enjoy.
  • Navigate the city, hold simple conversations in shops and restaurants, and ask for directions.

 

Method

We use the Start.nl Part 1 blended learning method. Here’s how it works:

  • At Home: Prepare for class using your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
  • In Class: Focus on practicing speaking and listening.
  • After Class: Use e-learning tools to reinforce what you’ve learned.

Additionally, we encourage real-life practice outside of class with exercises designed to help you feel comfortable using Dutch in everyday situations. Expect to spend about 6 hours on homework each week.

Join us to start your journey to speaking Dutch confidently!

How a course works:

  • E-learning before class hands you the words and grammar you’ll need, even for that very first lesson.
  • In class, you do most of the talking. Your teacher (certified in teaching Dutch as a second language) is there to guide, not to lecture.
  • E-learning afterwards makes everything you practised actually stick.

Pick your format

Same course, same result, two ways to join. Just note that once you’re enrolled in one, you stay in that one for the whole course.

Offline, in Eindhoven.

A central spot that’s easy to reach on your way home from work.

Online, from wherever you are.

Same live classes, same speaking-first approach, same teacher. All you need is a laptop, and we’ll pop your study book in the post to you.

Class times vary per course, so check the schedule for the one you’re eyeing.

Overview
Level A0 to A1
Duration 11 weeks, 22 hours total (once a week, 2 hours)
Group size 8-10 students
Format Offline (Eindhoven) or online, you choose when you enroll
Price €500 including study materials (VAT-exempt)
Certificate Certificate of partiicpation when you attend 80%+ of classes
Is this one long course or two separate ones?

Two separate courses, booked as a package. You do A0 to A1, then A1 to A2 after it. The package is about committing to both and saving 5%, not about a different kind of class.

What if I'm not sure I'll continue past A1?

No problem at all. Just start with the single A0 to A1 course, and you can always decide to carry on with A2 afterwards, you lose nothing by waiting to commit. Double Dutch is simply the better deal for people who already know they're in it for both levels.

I've never done any Dutch before. Is that okay?

Perfect, that's exactly who this starts with. A0 means no prior Dutch at all. You'll begin at the very beginning.

I travel a lot. Can I keep up across both courses?

Each course is once a week for 11 weeks, and the certificate needs 80% attendance, so a lot of absences will catch up with you. If you're often away, the online format makes it far easier to stay on track, since you can join from wherever you are. Miss a week and you'll get the materials, though we can't rerun the class.

How demanding are these courses?

They move at a real pace and expect a fair amount of independent work, at a fairly abstract level. They're built for people who are university-educated or working at that level. Committing to two levels at once suits people who are ready for exactly that kind of pace.

Price & the practical bits

  • €500 VAT-exempt, materials included. Your spot’s yours once payment comes through.

  • We need at least 8 students for a course to run. If we ever have to cancel or move it, you’ll know at least 3 working days ahead and get a full refund if the new dates don’t suit you.

  • Changed your mind? Free cancellation up to 14 days after signing up, as long as the course hasn’t started (that’s your NRTO withdrawal right).

  • We’re an NRTO member, so your rights as a customer are covered by their code of conduct.
