Civic Integration Exam (‘Inburgeringsexamen’)
Preparation for the Dutch ‘Inburgeringsexamen’ – a test that all new Dutch citizens need to pass in order to apply for Dutch citizenship (allowing you to stay in the country for a certain period of time but not entitling you to a Dutch passport). In this course we start from scratch.

Rate: R4800. Travel costs can be charged extra.
Children (4-18 years)
Wednesday and Friday afternoons we offer Dutch classes for children from 4 to 18 years. There are groups available for kids who hardly speak Dutch. Depending on age and target, a class will take up from 1.5 to 2 hours. Private lessons for (a small group of) children at your home? We can arrange it! Please ask for a quote.
Together with the parents we determine the language target for the children. Tests are according to the DLE (Didactisch Leeftijds Equivalent – Didactic Age Equivalent), Meijerink, CEFR (European Framework for Modern Languages). Lessons are divided into two parts: a language or culture project part (group work, working together, learning from each other) and a part where children work individually at their own pace and level (iPad/Muiswerk/Nieuwsbegrip/CLIL)
iPad education
Learn Dutch is aware of children’s fascination for iPads and how various applications are actually designed to improve language skills. In our Dutch classes for children we make use of iPad education – using apps which teach them new vocabulary and spelling skills.
‘Muiswerk’
‘Muiswerk’ (literally translated: mouse work) is the ultimate modern way of adaptive learning for children. By using digital language programs, Muiswerk determines every child’s personal level, while establishing exactly which skills the individual needs to improve. Based on these findings, a personal learning program will be developed – all happening in the online virtual learning space. Our children’s classes use the Muiswerk approach.
Nieuwsbegrip XL
When children start reading, teachers start to make use of the Nieuwsbegrip XL program. With Nieuwsbegrip we practice (online) pronunciation, vocabulary and reading comprehension.
Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
Learning a language is more than just studying words and grammar. The CLIL programme helps us integrate your work and study vocabulary into the Dutch language. For instance, we ask children to explain to teachers and classmates– in Dutch of course! –what they have learnt at their South African school.
Minimum age: 4 years.
Location: SASNEV (4 Central Square, Pinelands). Enrolment per term. Price: R295 per child per lesson in group of minimum 4 children).
