Course Description
Strengthen your Dutch in the workplace: Werkvloer Nederlands
Would you like to feel more confident using Dutch at work, communicate more easily with colleagues, and gain more confidence in everyday workplace conversations?
Our course Werkvloer Nederlands (Dutch for the Workplace) is designed specifically for those who want to use Dutch more effectively in a professional environment.
Throughout this course, we focus on realistic communication situations you may encounter at work. You will expand your vocabulary, learn commonly used expressions, and start expressing yourself more confidently in everyday workplace communication.
Program Content
In this course, you will learn Dutch through real workplace situations and focus on applying what you learn directly to your own working environment. Our main course material is the book Werk en Taal, published by Coutinho.
You will develop your Dutch in the following areas:
Everyday communication with colleagues
Commonly used words and expressions in the workplace
Asking questions, giving explanations, and asking for repetition
Understanding and giving work instructions
Talking about working conditions and work processes
Communicating more naturally and fluently with colleagues
Expressing yourself in a variety of workplace communication situations
The course goes beyond vocabulary and grammar — it also focuses on how to apply the Dutch you learn in real working life.
What Will You Achieve by the End of the Course?
Our goal is not simply for you to know more Dutch words, but for you to be able to use Dutch confidently and effectively at work.
By the end of the 5 weeks, you will be able to:
Talk more comfortably about your workplace, role, and responsibilities
Take part more easily in everyday and work-related conversations with colleagues
Understand work instructions better and ask for clarification when needed
Communicate about planning, task distribution, and work processes
Prepare for meetings, performance reviews, and customer interactions
Express a problem or complaint in Dutch and respond appropriately
Apply social communication skills such as asking for help, giving opinions, giving compliments, giving and receiving feedback

Express yourself with greater confidence in Dutch in a workplace setting.
