A GREAT SOCIAL ATMOSPHERE
Live, learn and speak Dutch together
intensive dutch language courses + housing
Learn Dutch the most efficient way!
Just like the summer school!
In 2014 we started the BLC Dutch Summer School. Based on the following principles:
– intensive language courses (with 100% focus) are more efficient than studying 1-2 times/week
– learn the language in the country where it is spoken
– living together = doing homework together, practicing the language with eachother, exploring the country together
– in a good social atmosphere you’re not afraid to make mistakes in class
– group courses on many levels that are 100% guaranteed (so you can make travel arrangements), no cancellations when not enough people apply (a condition normally used by other language schools)
– additional e-learning materials for a maximal result
We’re not the only one who believes in this formula: the Summer School attracts more than 300 students; while the previous editions of the Winter School had approximately 175 participants.
The only difference between the Summer School and the Winter School: the weather. So we’ll stay inside to study. And for the free time: we’ll come up with some extra social activities.

E-learning
Students of the Dutch Winter School, have access to our e-learning package during the course:
The e-learning package contains the courses:
– #dutchgrammar (level 0/A1)
– #dutchgrammar-2 (level A1/A2)
– #dutchgrammar-3 (level A2/B1)
Studying with the e-learning package is part of the homework. This way, students are well prepared in class. That allows our classes to be more efficient and interactive.
