Dutch 111 (Grad 511): First Special Speaking and Reading Course

4 credits, M-Th, 9-12 & 1-2, 6/25 - 7/17/2008

This is an intensive course for students who have no prior knowledge of Dutch. The focus of the course (e.g. speaking vs. reading) will be determined by students' interests. From everyday conversations, grammatical explanations, exercises, cultural discussions and homework, the student will get a wonderful introduction and first step into the Dutch language and the Dutch speaking world.
