All online courses at The Language Academy are developed by language experts at UvA Talen, the academic language centre at the University of Amsterdam. As such, the online courses are comprehensive, including modules in speaking, listening, reading and writing, combining academic quality with a quick learning curve.
Lessons are geared towards results, and each course ends with a final exercise which you can use to test your skills. If you complete a course, you will even receive a certificate!
While The Language Academy's online courses maintain their academic quality at all times, they are also accessible to everyone.
The online platform is easy to navigate, and the lessons are devised to be fun and interactive. Each language course contains ten lessons with conversations, exercises and videos surrounding a theme, for example, eating out, grocery shopping, work socials or family gatherings. This allows you to learn sentences and idioms you can immediately put into practice. You can take a look at some of their Dutch pronunciation videos on YouTube.
The online lessons are constructed around four young professionals living in Amsterdam. You encounter them in all sorts of everyday situations: Anna and Jan will give you a peek into their relationship, while Lena shows you what it’s like to work at the Zuidas. Meanwhile, Maria will take you along in her life as a busy mother of two young children. Curious about the characters? Read their bios on Facebook.
To help you reach your language goals in 2020, we are giving you a 20% discount on all courses. To claim your discount, all you have to do is use GIFT20 when registering for a course. The code is only valid in January 2020. You can find out more on The Language Academy website.
Every course has a free trial so you can see if the programme and level suits you. Don't forget to like The Language Academy on Facebook and subscribe to their YouTube channel!
