The course is suitable for all those who wish to acquire basic knowledge of the Romanian language. Some of the objectives of this course are mentioned below:
Acquiring basic knowledge of the Romanian language;
Familiarise yourself with the pronunciation of particular Romanian sounds;
Understanding simple contexts that respond to different situations presented in the first 10 lessons;
Acquiring a basic vocabulary.
The course will mainly use the communicative method; the most used language will be Romanian. If necessary, the teacher can provide explanations in English, French or Dutch. Intercultural information will be presented during the lessons.
This course is suitable for people who have a very good theoretical command of the language but have problems deciphering more complex texts and expressing themselves verbally. In this course we pay particular attention to topical texts. In parallel with this we also pay attention to the musical/literary culture (in order to maintain a relaxed atmosphere). In each lesson we also discuss a grammar topic.
The Dutch Module 3 course is designed for people who have successfully participated in Module 2 or who have sufficient command of the language but notice that there is room for improvement. We particularly invite you to participate if you find yourself answering the following questions: which nouns have the article 'de' and which 'het'? How do I use the demonstrative pronouns 'dit/dat' and 'deze/die'? When and how do they use 'het' and 'er'? Which preposition is appropriate: op, aan, voor, van, over, bij, etc.? Which verbs are reflexive and how do I conjugate them? As in module 2, we combine theory with practice, practising what we have learnt verbally through conversation on a particular topic. As in the previous modules, in this course we also pay attention to Dutch culture and customs.
The Dutch course module 2 is intended for people who have successfully participated in module 1 or have basic knowledge of the language (see description of module 1 regarding content!). In this course we focus on the following grammar topics: adjectives (degrees of comparison), relative pronouns, different kinds of verbs (compound or combined with prepositions), conjugation of verbs in the imperative and past tense (imperfect and perfect). The course consists of 15 lessons of 2 lessons per week. During the lessons we combine theory with practice, practising verbally what we have learnt through conversation related to a specific topic. In this course we also get acquainted with Dutch humour, each lesson ending with a joke. At the same time, in some lessons we focus on a topic related to the culture and customs of the country.
The Dutch Module 1 course is for people who want to learn Dutch from scratch. The course is interactive. Learners are given the microphone to practice what they have learnt, as verbal practice is the most important part of learning a language.
Along the way various grammar topics are discussed and practiced such as: conjugation of verbs in the present, future and in combination with modal verbs, adjectives, personal and possessive pronouns. The course consists of 15 lessons, in each lesson we pay 5-10 minutes attention to a topic related to Dutch customs.
