Dutch Course Online Placement Test B1 Level Part 1

1. Why would you like to learn Dutch?

I need Dutch for my job and career.

I need Dutch for the Civic Integration Exam (inburgeringsexamen).

I need Dutch for my future in the Netherlands.

I do not need Dutch. Just for fun.

2. Our Dutch course consists of two important parts: Dutch lessons and homework. If you are not going to do your homework, you will not be able to do our speaking exercises with your fellow students in our classes. How much time are you going to spend on your homework?

As much as I can!

From time to time. It depends on my schedule. I don’t have much time. It is not my priority.

I will do my best to do all of your homework!

3. How much time are you going to spend on practicing Dutch every week (speaking, reading, listening, trying to communicate with Dutch people)?

As much as I can!

4. How would you rate your level of English?

I speak a little English.

My English is so-so.

I do not speak English.

I speak fluent English.

I can speak English well.

5. Do you know the difference between 'Your' and 'You’re'? Even native English speakers often make mistakes with these two words.

Your is a possessive – it means something belongs to you. Example: your name, your car, your house.
The word you’re is short for 'you are'. Example: you’re beautiful, you’re smart, you’re welcome.

You’re is short for You are. Your are is long for You are.

You’re means You smart. Your means Your are name.

You’re means 'You are'. Your means 'You possess something'.

You’re means beautiful, smart, welcome. Your is a possessive.

6. Our courses are designed for highly educated people. Having a higher education degree is not an absolute must, but please take into account that our courses are not suitable for slow learners. How would rate your speed of learning?

Learning has never been a problem for me.

I am an average learner.

Learning is a problem for me.

Below average.

7. Here are two reviews of our students:

"The lessons were really nice. I really liked the way of teaching. However, the course is quite intensive and demands a lot of time for homework".

"Docents are very qualified and focused on make you learn as fast as possible. The lessons are well structured and the website is full of examples to continue improving. I particularly enjoyed the recipes. It was like cooking with Dutch language. I have already joined A2. One suggestion: because it is a very intensive course, join only if you have high motivation."

This is what I am looking for!

This is not suitable for me.

8. We offer only intensive courses which consist of two parts: Dutch classes with our Dutch teacher and our e-learning (homework). What do you expect from our intensive course?
