Dutch for Children

The better children are able to speak and understand the Dutch language the easier it is for them to function, fit into society. Increasing the Dutch language skill is the mail goal during this course.

Basten Trainingen offers the possibility for children to work on their school-language, Dutch sayings, expressions and increase their vocabulary comprehension.

The children receive personal tips and tricks. This all to improve their spoken and comprehensive skills.

The course is for children who don’t speak the Dutch language at home, or very little. This course is also suitable for children who have been raised bi-lingual or multi-lingual.

During the lessons we work with various methods that are keyed into reducing the language deficiencies in the Dutch language.
