We give one-off advice on materials for your self-study Dutch: we will recommend textbooks, as well as websites and apps. 

You will receive tips on where and how to practice Dutch in Brussels. This means that you can practise by having real conversations.  

We can also provide advice on business Dutch or specific work-related vocabulary.
