Learning Dutch with Cactus

Cactus group Dutch language courses will help you learn through small group classes. Native-speaking, experienced and qualified Dutch teachers use the communicative approach. Students will be focusing on developing speaking and listening Dutch skills. Your writing and reading Dutch skills will be stimulated as well.

You will engage in pair-work and group-work during the course. This will support you to maximise your opportunities to use Dutch during class time.

Cactus also offers you the opportunity to keep up the momentum by progressing through the levels. Lessons are offered from Beginners (A1) through to Advanced (C1).

How to Learn Dutch

If you are looking to learn Dutch, Cactus is the place to start. With Cactus you can study face-to-face or online with the help of a native-speaking teacher.

There are many levels but if you have no knowledge you can join our beginners lessons. Teachers will be able to support you on your language journey.

The first step is to understand if you prefer to join an online group language class or prefer to attend a face-to-face course.

Dutch Classes Levels

If you are not at beginner levels you can study Dutch from elementary through to proficient. At lower level such as elementary Dutch you will cover the basics. A great option if you have basic knowledge.

At mid levels as intermediate and upper-intermediate Dutch, you will gain a solid understanding. If you are looking to progress to a higher level it’s the perfect option. You must have completed A2 or B1 level (CEFR levels) to attend these levels.

At advanced and proficient Dutch level you will be able to express yourself fluently. Enhance your Dutch pronunciation and conversation skills. Your knowledge of the language will reach a new height.

You can take our level test and check the course content before taking a Dutch class with Cactus.

Frequently asked questions

What will I learn?

Our Course Outlines give an overview of the content and learning framework of Cactus courses. Includes themes, grammar and vocabulary you can typically expect to cover.

Do I receive a qualification or certificate?

At the end of your course you receive a certificate of participation. You will be able to be download it from your MyCactus account. This confirms the language and level of course you have taken. Our course levels are based on two internationally recognised systems. You will have a universally accepted reference for your studies. (Important: Please note that you must complete the end of course questionnaire sent to you to be able to get your certificate! You will receive the course questionnaire by e-mail at the end of your course.)

Do I need a course book?

You will need a course book to attend your course. Course books are not included in the course fees. We recommend that you buy your own course book separately before your course starts. We will let you know which course book you will require and advise where you can purchase this. Please note that a course book often covers more than one level. So if you progress to the next course, you may not necessarily need to buy a new book. Again, we will advise you of this at the time. The course book is chosen by our teachers and academic team. This is based on which book is most suitable for the level of the class whilst offering the most communicative approach.

Why Learn Dutch?

Dutch is spoken by over 20 million people across the world mainly in the Netherlands. It is also the official language of Belgium and many overseas communities. Dutch is the fifth most requested language in job adverts in the UK – in part because few people make the effort to learn it.

Why do you want to learn Dutch? It could be in preparation for a trip to a Dutch-speaking country. It could be to improve your career prospects. Whatever the reason why you want to take a Dutch language course, our classes will help you connect with Dutch speakers.

There are many benefits of learning Dutch. Not only you will be able to communicate with native speakers you will also be able to immerse in the culture. You will also enhance your business Dutch skills for work purposes. Ultimately, you can move abroad to a Dutch-speaking country.

Dutch is a West Germanic language so will be handy when learning other languages of the same family. You will also gain a natural understanding of Afrikaans. Afrikaans shares the same Germanic roots and linguistic characteristics as Dutch.

Learning Dutch will equip you with the skills you need to get by, have a conversation or become proficient.
