Learning unit contents

Revision of basic Dutch grammar and vocabulary. Listening comprehension will be stressed more than oral expression. The oral aspect will be developed as well, but to a lesser extent; yet, the student will be encouraged to pronounce Dutch sounds correctly.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The student will be expected to master the basic linguistic grammatical and lexical tools in order to be able to use them actively when he/she expresses himself/herself in Dutch, and particularly in the written language.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

This course is intended for (false) beginners. Motivation will play an essential role, particularly for those without any knowledge of Dutch.
