ETC CLUBS

As part of our extra and co-curricular activities, we offer specialised courses called CLUBS, designed to provide enrichment, practice, and social engagement alongside our regular Dutch language courses.

Our Conversation Clubs help adult learners improve their Dutch speaking skills in an interactive setting. Available at Beginner (A), Intermediate (B), and Advanced (C) levels, they provide a supportive space to practice real-life conversations and build confidence. For younger learners, our Children & Youth Clubs offer a fun and practical way to learn Dutch. Designed for children (10-14) and teens (12-14) who have completed the Children’s programme, these clubs use interactive activities to boost confidence and language skills in an engaging environment.
