The Fast Focus workshops are thematic Dutch language workshops for beginners. They focus on just on theme of Dutch daily life, so that everything you learn is immediately applicable. Check out what these workshops look like and how your language skills will advance rapidly.
DUTCH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
It’s easy to get overwhelmed if you start learning Dutch. Where to begin? I personally think that it’s best to start speaking Dutch right away, even if you’re making many mistakes. But Dutch habits might ALSO look weird to you, especially if you’re from outside Europe. Following a Dutch language workshop will make you feel much more comfortable about your Dutch language and social skills.
After every thematic workshop you will have:
- basic vocabulary around the theme
- confidence to express yourself
- insight in Dutch culture and habits
- practice in conversation
- practical applicable Dutch language skills
HOW DO THE DUTCH LANGUAGE WORKSHOPS LOOK LIKE?
Each Fast Focus Workshop consists of 3 classes of 2 hours, either in the weekend or at three weekday nights. During these 2 hours we will practice the theme for 1,5 hour. The last half hour will be free for any questions of the students. There will be a maximum of 6 students.
- 1 workshop = three 2-hour classes

- 1,5 hour prepared study and practice on the theme

THEMATIC WORKSHOPS DUTCH
The Fast Focus program is a series of thematic workshops for beginners, where we will focus on everyday Dutch. You will be able to use this right away. Themes will be:
