NT2 online: learning Dutch as a second language works online
Dutch NT2 works online at Dutch for Children. Would you like your child to learn or develop Dutch as a second language? It can be difficult to keep up with the Dutch language well if you are living abroad. Certainly if the official language at school, socially and in the family is not the Dutch language.
Our NT2 course online or one of the adjusted NT2 programs fits in well with this. Other children preceded your child with great pleasure.
Zelna Moller, India, mother: My boys have been having lessons with Wendy for the past 6 months in order to help them with the transition of going from the IB system into the Dutch system. They got Dutch NT2 lessons. Wendy has a fantastic way to keep the lessons interesting and she manages to engage them for an hour each over Skype. I would happily recommend Dutch for Children.
