Course Description
Language of Instruction:English|Category: Learning
This is not only one of the few available online courses to learn Dutch, but also one of the best! You will be able to speak Dutch from Class 1 itself.
As the official language of the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries as well as one of the official languages in South Africa, Dutch is widely spoken by 28 million people. Dutch is a widely used language within the European Union and through out the Caribbeans. Dutch is also closely related to English language and hence, if you speak English, you will pick Dutch fast.
