Dealing with the Dutch Language
Where is Dutch spoken? And why? What's the difference between Dutch spoken in the Netherlands and in Flanders (Belgium)? How to be polite and introduce yourself? In this trial lesson you will be given a short introduction to the Dutch language and learn a couple of useful phrases.
Do you want to learn more? Why not take a Dutch course at the Academic Language Centre, starting in September.
