Dutch language course for internationals in Meerhoven

February 2017 the Meerhoven Internationals Platform (MIP) starts two Dutch language courses for internationals living in Meerhoven: one course for beginners and another course at intermediate level.

Congli Dong, coordinator of the MIP: “Meerhoven is the place to be for internationals because it has excellent facilities and is close to Brainport Region Eindhoven. Many internationals plan to live in Meerhoven for more than ten years. With the Dutch language courses we offer internationals an opportunity to better integrate in the community and to get to know each other better.”

Courses
Both courses start in the week of February 13, 2017. Location: Basisschool ’t Slingertouw, Grasland 1 in Meerhoven. The beginners course (level A1 to A2) is given on Tuesday evenings from 19.00 until 21.30 hours by teacher Els Castelijn, while the advanced course (level A2+ to B1+) is given on Monday evenings from 19.00 until 21.30 hours by teacher Mariana Oldemans. Each course involves 40 teaching hours and ends in the week of June 30, 2017. There will be no lessons during public and school holidays. The tuition fee is 230 euro. Books are not included and have to be purchased seperately. More information will be given after registration.
