Bilgaard's Language Group teaches Dutch at its best!

Bilgaard's Language Group teaches Dutch at its best!

Bilgaard's Language Group teaches Dutch at its best! Want to learn the Dutch language? You can in Bilgaard! Every Monday morning, eight language teachers are present in the large hall of the District Centre. We are there to teach people the Dutch language. Of course, we are serious about the language, but experience shows that there is sometimes exuberant laughter! Bilgaard language lesson During the language lesson we focus on: writing grammar reading stories from books newspaper articles talking about different topics. Each week, you will also be given homework to practise at home such as grammar or reading and discussion assignments. Experience of a participant Maia started with "Hello" and here she now writes her own story: "I have been going to language classes for several years. I like going to language classes because I learn a lot at the classes. The teacher teaches me very well and gives useful information that helps me improve the Dutch language. There I meet new people, with some I even make new friends. The teacher gives homework every time with some grammar and reading or discussion assignments. I do not practise the language every day because my daily work is in English and at home I speak my mother tongue with my husband and the children. Therefore, I very much appreciate every lesson and the work the teacher does for me and the other students like me."
