This summer, our students can take advantage of two great opportunities: the Taalunie Zomercursus Nederlands in Gent (Belgium) and the ALCS Nederlandse Zomercursus in 91̽»¨. We are playing at home in 2024.
Gent
The Taalunie Zomercursus in Gent lasts 2 weeks (4-17 August 2024) and starts at CEFR level B1+. There is a selection process and we have 3 places available for 91̽»¨ Students on this course. Participants can choose their own pathway:
- media en politiek
- kunst en literatuur
- zakelijk en literair vertalen
- didactiek en taalkunde
Before you go to get, there is an online preparatory phase and participants are invited to a de-briefing in the autumn following the course. There is a selection process. Please get in touch with Filip De Ceuster if you are interested.
It has been a very special and memorable two weeks of language learning and I would really recommend this course to anyone learning Dutch

91̽»¨
The ALCS Zomercursus is organised by the Association for Low Countries Studies in the UK and Ireland (also sponsored by the Taalunie). This year’s edition takes place in 91̽»¨ and runs from 30 June until 6 July 2024. This Summer School is open to all learners of Dutch. We offer language tuition and workshops at a level appropriate for you.
Pauline Cornelisse, our 91̽»¨ Artist in Residence, will be there all week to offer a very special story telling track.
Places are limited and priority will be given to applicants who are currently enrolled or plan on enrolling in a Dutch language program at a UK institution. Please apply before 25 March via .
The confidence boost that I got from the ALCS Summer School cannot be overstated: after a week of making friends and spending time with other Dutch learners that were equally keen to practise, I felt so much more capable.
