Dutch course

High level Dutch training

Have you heard that you should come to ‘the Nuns of Vught’ if you want to learn Dutch really well? Then you’ve come to the right place! We are the language institute when it comes to learning languages in a short time.

At Regina Coeli, our language trainers teach you how to speak Dutch, whether you're a beginner or an advanced Dutch speaker. Not by using textbooks, but by looking at what you already know and what you need.

Which immersion suits you?

Immerse yourself in Dutch in an intensive language training course. Do you want to learn as much a you can in one fell swoop in an intensive week, or would you prefer to have the breathing space offered by part-time training?

INTENSIVE WEEK   PARTTIME TRAINING
  • You want to learn Dutch as quickly as possible.
  • You have little free time. Focus on the language for a week and reduce study time.
 
  • You cannot be away from work or home for a whole week.
  • It has been a while since you have studied, and you want to let the material sink in halfway through the programme.

Intensive training is suitable for people who want to learn a foreign language in a short time and are able to study for several days in a row.

In addition, it is important that you understand explanations in one of the following languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish or Italian.

 

 


Frequently asked questions about Dutch courses at Regina Coeli

I’ve already tried learning Dutch so many times. Why would it work at Regina Coeli?

Our method differs from other language institutes in several crucial areas:

  • You follow a personalised programme that's completely in line with your goals and interests. You’ll be enthusiastic from start to finish because the training is all about you.
  • You receive plenty of personal attention through the guidance and private lessons given by your trainers. You go at your own pace and don’t have to take others into account.
  • Everyone at the institute is learning a foreign language when they’re there. That’s incredibly motivating.
  • You can retreat from the world and concentrate completely on learning the language with us.
  • Because you work so intensively with the language, you really notice how quickly you progress.

These elements ensure that you can learn to speak languages so well when you come to Regina Coeli.

Is a three-day course also an option?

We offer short programmes over various weekends throughout the year. These run from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The Language Weekend is suitable for those with a level of A2.2 or higher.

For participants with a lower starting level, the shortest training is five days. This is because experience has taught us that people with a lower skill level can only then begin to come to grips with Dutch.

 

What is better—an intensive week or part-time training?

The choice of an intensive week or part-time training depends mainly on your schedule. Is it possible to come to Regina Coeli for an entire working week, or is that difficult to pair with your home or work life?

In addition, part-time training may be a consideration if it has been a long time since you have studied and think you might need some breathing space, as that is precisely what the part-time training offers.

Why do you need an A2.2 level to join the Language Weekend?

There are two reasons for this:

  1. The Language Weekend programme includes several moments when you need to be able to interact freely in Dutch. On Friday evening, for instance, we start with a language table, and that takes place entirely in Dutch. As a beginner, you would not be capable of participating in that.
  2. For someone with a level lower than A2.2, we recommend a training course lasting a minimum of five days.

An ideal place to learn Dutch

At Regina Coeli, you're able to completely concentrate on learning the Dutch language. You stay in a quiet environment and really escape from work and daily life. You get to practise and experiment with the language to the fullest at our language institute.

Regina Coeli’s roots lie in those of our founders’ international cloister. For a long time, the lessons were given by an international group of nuns. Nowadays, highly educated Dutch people teach Dutch. We are still proudly known as ‘the Nuns of Vught’.
