Language Café

The ICF-Noord’s Dutch Language Café takes the form of an eight-lesson course held twice a year. It's an accessible and relaxed way to become familiar with and/or practice speaking Dutch. Besides that, it's also a great place to connect with people from all over the world! We learn about each other's cultures, and on the last evening of the course we taste a lot of delicious dishes from around the world.

After starting the evening with a welcome, we'll split into small groups. These groups are formed based on Dutch language proficiency. It's possible to repeat the course and progress to a higher level. The small group is led by a Dutch volunteer who also speaks English.

What: An eight-lesson Dutch language course, focused on conversational lessons. Some topics that may come to the table are introducing yourself, work, and family.

Who: This course is suitable for people who want to practice their Dutch speaking skills (between level A0-B1). It focuses primarily on situations encountered in everyday life. It is important that participants can speak either English or Dutch to be able to communicate with the volunteers. 

When: The course takes place twice a year. The next course runs from Thursday, October 9, 2025, to December 4, 2025 (there is no course on November 6).

What time: From 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM (you are welcome from 7:15 PM).

Costs: €20 for eight lessons. Cost should certainly not be an issue for participation, so please contact us if you would like to discuss this matter.

Note: this is not a certified course nor a professional school. People who need to quickly master the language for their studies or work will benefit more from an official course
