Language course — Dutch A2 evening course

The Dutch A2 course starts on February 10 2025. It lasts for 16 weeks with classes taking place at the HAN campus in Arnhem. The class times are:

• Monday from 17:30 to 19:45
• Wednesday from 17:30 to 19:45

The next course start date is September 2025.

To maintain the quality, the groups will have no more than 20 students.

Please note: Are you from outside the EU? HAN does not arrange student visas for candidates of our language courses. You need to arrange your own visa/permit if you wish to stay in the Netherlands.

During class, you practice your listening and speaking skills and complete various exercises. The lecturer gives you feedback on these exercises. You also get homework to help you improve your reading and writing skills and your grammar and vocabulary. You can also do your homework at the HAN study and multimedia center. You spend about 6-8 hours a week on self-study.

Learning a language takes commitment and discipline. So we expect that from all our participants. This way you know you can rely on your fellow course participants during the course!

During the course you use the textbook Contact! Nieuw 2. This book is included in the course fee. 

You will have access to a special online environment. HAN provides the necessary software: you don't need to purchase anything for that. It is important that you have your own laptop with a working microphone and camera. You also need a good WiFi connection. That’s it!

At the end of the course you do a test at the A2 level. Reached this level? Then you receive a certificate. This means you can continue to the next level. 

Exams are held on the HAN campus.

You achieve language level A2 (basic user). You understand sentences and common words about personal details, family, shopping, local surroundings and work. You can communicate simply about your own background, your direct surroundings and various needs. You have gained knowledge of Dutch society. You are ready to move on to the advanced A2-B1 Dutch course.

Have you successfully completed the A1 course? Or do you have a certificate showing you have the A1 level? Are you willing to spend around 10 hours per week (2 lessons per week + self-study) on learning Dutch? Then sign up for our Dutch A2 course. You work towards level A2 in 16 weeks.
