Dear (Dutch!) Language Lovers,
Want to learn Dutch the fun way? Meet Koentact!
Who is Koentact?
Koentact is Dutch language school and has founded the Amsterdam Language Cafe! :)Koentact offers Dutch classes for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels through a unique interactive method (including great 'Field Trips' to get to know Amsterdam better). Every 6 weeks there are new lessons starting and before the start of a new session, Koentact hosts an Open Evening.
The first upcoming event will take place in Amsterdam on Tuesday September 9.
How does the Open Evening work?
During the Open Evening you can get to know the teaching team and learn about the teaching method. If you are a complete beginner in the Dutch language, you can follow a Free trial lesson. If you are an intermediate or advanced speaker of Dutch, you can do a proficiency test.Make sure to register here for our in-person Open Evening: www.koentact.nl/open-day.
We will announce the location once you have registered for the event.Of course, you will also be able to officially enroll in one of the Dutch language courses of Koentact during the Open Day and... you can win 50% off a Dutch course. There are evening classes, morning classes and intensive weeks. For more information about Koentact's classes, please have a look at the following website: www.koentact.nl.
