LEARN DUTCH!

Whatever reason you have to learn Dutch, the Bethesda Dutch School offers you the perfect way to acquire the language skills you need.

Our classes for adults are taught by native speakers with a passion for and a lot of experience in teaching Dutch as a foreign language.

The upcoming school year, we will offer group classes at different levels: beginner, beginner +, intermediate, and advanced.

All classes are given once a week, starting on Tuesday September 10, 2024. Weekday classes end on June 18 (30 weeks) and Saturday classes end by the end of May 2024 (24 weeks). Our classes are on a 3 weeks of class/1 week off schedule. For all dates see the calendar.

We aim to create a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom, where you will have fun while learning!
