Please refer to our covid regulations page for up to date information.

From September we will continue to offer our popular online remote language classes as well as face to face courses at our Kickstart School location in The Hague.

In order to keep everybody safe, do not come to our school if you have any symptoms or have had a chance of exposure to Covid.

Have you lived in the Netherlands for some time and find that your language is not developing beyond the level of simple everyday conversation? Then Kickstart School’s Stepping Stone III course will take your Dutch to the next level. This intermediate Dutch course further develops fluency in speaking by exploring new themes with a focus on cultural differences, encouraging you to exchange ideas and discuss current affairs. More advanced grammar and vocabulary is introduced and explored through newspaper articles, film clips, and book chapters to bring you to an intermediate level (B1). This course also includes related writing exercises. Please be aware that in the face to face courses there is no option of joining remotely. If you have to miss the class due to sickness or other reasons, you can catch up in self-study or we can offer you a catch up lesson at a reduced price.

 

Please be aware that the Semi-Intensive courses starting in June are on Thursdays and Mondays!

I appreciate the course outline and materials. They are thoughtfully detailed, challenging and clearly structured. My teacher, Letty Akkerman is amazing! She makes learning fun and approachable, especially to someone like myself that is close to 50yrs and has a fierce workload. Letty’s patience, charm and grace as well as intelligence and brilliant grasp of the Dutch language create a vibrant and playful and curious learning environment. Thank you, Letty and Kickstart for your support and guidance!
Emily Molnar
Very well designed and organised courses, with lots of materials to read and learn from. The teacher (Letty) is an excellent teacher, with a lot of patience and always full of energy to teach.
Konstantinos

Daniele
Friendly teacher, good pace of learning
Sandra
I enjoyed the course. It was my first experience with Kickstart so I didnt know what to expect. I really liked our teacher Maarten, he was always really helpful and answered all the question. He went with our pace :) Nice setting and subjects, just some texts were a bit old-fashioned. Maybe suggestion to change some to be more current.
Tatiana
I continued learning Dutch with this school, transitioning from A2 to B1. I really enjoyed the course, it was fun and engaging, lots of speaking practice in addition to helpful grammatical explanations. I hope to continue and transition to the next level.
Anna
Good experience, recommended.
