Empower your team: building community through a Dutch in-company course

Our in-company Dutch language course is more than just learning Dutch. Living and working abroad can be a fantastic experience, but it can also be lonely for some. According to Internations.org, the Netherlands ranks 26th out of 53 countries regarding the “best and worst destinations for expats in 2024”. According to this survey, many expats find it hard to build meaningful friendships with locals, ranking the Netherlands among the most challenging countries for making local friends. This difficulty in forming connections can limit their integration into Dutch society and their sense of belonging to their workplace.

Integrate, collaborate, and grow – Dutch lessons for a connected workforce

Therefore, our Dutch in-company course is not only an excellent way to learn Dutch but also a way to strengthen team bonds. Offering this course to your employees shows them you care about them. We come to your office or meet your team online once a week for 12 to 14 classes at your preferred level. Learning Dutch helps your employees integrate more smoothly into Dutch society. Weekly team building and regular Dutch classes also help your employees feel more connected and boost the work vibe. These sessions enrich employees’ lives and foster a sense of community both in the workplace and in Amsterdam, leading to a stronger and more lasting commitment to your company.

FAQ

Yes, we use a comprehensive textbook named Nederlands in Gang, with additional exercises tailored to the daily life of your employees.

We meet at your office or online through Zoom. Our teachers typically travel by bike to your location within Amsterdam and nearby areas.

That shouldn’t be a problem. We also teach in Utrecht, Hoofddorp, Schiphol, and other nearby areas. Online is an option as well. Let’s talk and find a solution that works for both!

Usually a maximum of 8 students per class. The reason is that we want to maintain high quality. Are you with more, there are definitely possibilities for larger groups if needed.

For sure! The positive side effects of COVID taught us how to effectively conduct online classes, making it possible to reach your international employees no matter where they are.

We have an online test we can send to assess the levels of your employees and organize groups accordingly.

Absolutely! Provide us with the email addresses of your international employees, and we’ll handle the rest. We can also integrate with your company’s Slack for easy organization and communication. 

No worries! We can send an invoice to each individual student before the course starts, or you can deduct it from their study budget yourself. Once everyone has paid, we can begin. The company can pay its invoice within 30 days. 

Up to 1/5th of the classes can be rescheduled (think of last-minute events, etc.). We do need to know 48 hours in advance. You can find more in the Terms and Conditions that you have agreed upon upfront.

If the teacher is sick, we will cancel the class and add an extra session at the end of the course.

Yes, we always aim to go outside during the last class after an hour. We will talk Dutch in a café and order drinks in Dutch. We hand out the certificates and the first round is on us! If you prefer to stay at the office, that’s not a problem. Read the article in het Parool: “Dutch in Noémie’s style: no clogs, but Ajax “ to see how we teach.

No worries, it happens all the time. We agree with HR upfront on how many classes an employee is allowed to miss. Does your employee want to meet a bit earlier the next lesson to get an explanation on the missed grammar et cetera? Helemaal goed! We are there 15 minutes up front. 

If you have any other questions that are not listed here, please send us a message, and we’ll be happy to provide the information you need.
