Summer Special: B2 Grammar Boost

Do you want to give your Dutch a serious boost? Jump into grammar and apply the rules! 6 lessons in a small group (max 7).

Main content in English

During this course (six lessons of 90 minutes) you'll learn some tricky grammar rules that you can immediately apply. Perfect for (advanced) B2 students who miss that rewarding feeling of making clear and quick progress.

We'll have six lessons of 90 minutes on Sunday evenings. The group will be small (max. 7). All lessons consist of:

  • Discussing and practicing some tricky grammar rules
  • Practicing grammar in interactive exercises or structured discussions

Before the lessons you will:

  • Receive explanation of the theory
  • A few grammar or writing exercises
  • Sometimes a video or article that forms the base for an interactive exercise
  • You can ask the teacher for feedback on your (writing) exercises

Grammar rules that we will cover:

  • Relative clause with preposition
  • Er + preposition in more complex sentences (using separable verbs, reflexive verbs and subordinate clauses)
  • More complex auxiliary verbs with or without TE (horen, zien, weten, vallen, mogen, laten, position verbs)
  • Passieve zinnen met zijn, waren, worden en werden.
  • Zouden in irrealis about the past, for broken promises and rumours.

The group will be small, with a maximum of 7 students. Material will have overlap with previous Summer/Winter Course B2 (so if you subscribe again, there will be repetition).

This course is only offered twice a year.

Ik vond de cursus tof! Ik zat inderdaad met vragen over de grammatica. Ik heb er nog steeds vragen over maar een pak minder!

Start your day in Dutch: Conversation B1
Ik vond het erg leuk en nuttig. Het beste was jij als leraar (je spreekt heel duidelijk en je geeft de lessen een heel positieve toon!) en de gezellige sfeer met de andere deelnemers. Ik heb zeker veel geleerd.

"Ik ben zo blij dat ik de Grammar Boost B2 heb gedaan! Het was niet alleen een boost voor mijn grammatica, maar ook voor mijn motivatie. Ik had elke week zin in een volgende les. De groep was ook heel leuk - een klein groepje van 4 mensen en iedereen was op een vergelijkbaar niveau. De gekozen grammatica thema's waren precies die waarvan ik altijd het gevoel had dat ik iets miste, dus het was een zeer nuttige cursus. En Ida is zo'n oplettende en behulpzame docent! Als je kan, werk dan met haar, ze is geweldig!" - M.P.

Deze cursus is erg intensief! Hij behandelt de basisgrammatica, maar je moet wel veel tijd besteden aan de voorbereiding op de les. Gelukkig duurt elke les 1,5 uur, dus je hebt genoeg tijd om vragen te stellen. Het is fijn dat we met voorbeelden oefenen.
