ETC Language Clubs: Dutch for Young Learners and Beyond The ETC Clubs offer a variety of Dutch-language programs designed for both young learners and those who want to improve their speaking skills. The Kinderklas series (A, B, and C) is tailored for children aged 10–14 and focuses on building a foundation in Dutch through fun, interactive lessons. Starting with simple introductions in Kinderklas A, students progress to more complex topics like hobbies, holidays, and emotions in Kinderklas B and C. To support continued learning, the Bridge Class helps transition students from Kinderklas to youth-level programs through competence training and project-based learning. For those with a Dutch foundation, Conversation Classes (A, B, and C) offer a supportive environment to practice speaking: • Conversation A: for Basic 1–2 level • Conversation B: for Basic 3–Intermediate 1 • Conversation C: for Intermediate 2–Advanced 2 Led by experienced teachers, these courses are designed to boost fluency, confidence, and enjoyment in learning Dutch.
