My-kid-and-me Dutch Play Course
Bring Your Baby
Time: 16h - 17.30h
Schedule: 8 classes of 1,5 hours each (12 hours total)
Price: € 270,- per couple (parent+child)
Participants: 5 adult + 5 children age 4-9
Homework:
NO HOMEWORK!
We use Rubio Dutch Instructional videos to prepare for next weeks class.
For vocab, we use a free smartphone app.


The My-Kid-And-Me Play Course is focused on playfully practising Dutch together with your child. The course is aimed to parents with already a basic understanding of Dutch, enough to manage simple games and role play. Children on the other hand, should not be too fluent yet: the idea is to learn together. Children from international schools who would like to boost their Dutch, or children just starting a Dutch primary school would be the ideal students for this course.

There will be basic grammar explanation for the parents through short online instruction videos as a way of preparing for each class. In class, we'll explain simple rules whenever it turns out useful: for example to explain why you say something a certain way and not the other. Of course classroom explanation will be adjusted to level and age. Mostly though, we'll learn by doing. Word games, board games, role play, imagination... A little like a playgroup for parents and kids. They idea is to have fun together and as a side effect, learn Dutch!

For every friend you bring along, you receive a discount on the course fee.

If you are not sure whether your Dutch is advanced enough for this course, let me know and I'll send you a short level test.
