One-to-one General/Business

Dutch Course in Manchester

Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.

A General course in Dutch will grant you 'Survival Dutch' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.


Our Dutch courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Dutch telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.


Our Business courses cater to a range of requirements. Many of our clients work for foreign governments and educational institutions, corporations with branches abroad, as well as those who buy and sell around the world. General courses cater mostly to those who wish to learn Dutch for short trips to (or through) a country where it is widely spoken; as well as those who wish to pass a specific Dutch exam, people who want to buy a home abroad, and people marrying into a Dutch family.

Info about Manchester


The third biggest city in the UK, Manchester was a vital city during Britain's industrial era, laying claim to being the world's very first industrialised city. With around 2.3 million people in the urban area alone, Manchester continues to be regarded as Britain's second city.

As with most big cities around the country, Manchester's size attracts plenty of overseas visitors, many of whom choose to settle there. This has created a massive cultural variety in the entire borough of Greater Manchester, but particularly in the inner-city areas where there is a high proportion of south Asian, Caribbean, African and Chinese communities. This cosmopolitan experience means the city is a great place to meet people from different backgrounds, and assures you plenty of potential practice partners when you start learning your new language!

Info about Dutch


Spoken by over 30 million people around the word, the Dutch language is the native tongue of the Netherlands and is spoken in many other countries throughout Europe and parts of Africa (being the parent language of Afrikaans). Dutch grammar is similar to German, but made easier by the relative lack of morphology (that is, words changing form depending on the role they are playing in a sentence). This gives it an English feel, though the vocabulary features plenty of those lovely lengthy compound words that generally characterise Germanic languages.

Dutch is not traditionally a popular language for non-native speakers to learn, mainly due to the fact that its use is not widespread, and most Dutch speakers are generally proficient in other European languages. However, the number of non-native speakers has surged in recent years.
