Dutch Course

Impress your colleagues and friends by learning some Dutch!

Learning Dutch as a non-native speaker is challenging, especially if your native language is quite different. But if you plan on staying here for a while, it’s worth investing in some Dutch lessons. Whether to improve your small talk around the water cooler or order a broodje kaas at lunchtime, you’ll feel more Dutch in no time.

Sign up alone or with your (work) friends. It’s always fun to learn together!

Suitable for beginners and advanced learners of Dutch

English Course

Whether you don’t know any English words or have a solid base to build on, this course is for you!

We start with the basics and work our way up, increasing our speed wherever we can and slowing down where neccessary. We focus on the skills you need most (writing, speaking, listening, reading, etc.).

Suitable for beginner and advanced learners of English

Why The Apiary?

  • Skip what you know and learn only what’s relevant for you.

  • I keep track of your progress and goals so you can focus on practising as much as possible.

  • Flexible planning: weekly or biweekly, planning everything ahead or week by week.

  • Short and sweet or extensive and all-encompassing. I’ll make a proposal, but ultimately you decide on the length and contents of the course.

Writing in Dutch

Looking to expand your expertise and write papers for your Dutch clients? Perfect your formal and/or informal Dutch writing skills with a private or group course.

Speaking and writing are two different language skills. If you improve one skill, the other will benefit and vice versa. Still, calling your internet provider about an incorrect invoice and writing an important project scope to reel in that next big client are two different things. In the latter, there are quite some conventionsto consider.

After assessing your current writing skills, we dive into writing. On top of the plethora of writing practise (with feedback), we discuss the relevant conventions and guidelines in writing Dutch.
