Dutch Writing Course

There are 4 writing courses you can choose from. You can do all writing courses completely in your own time.

Writing course 1: informal writing

In this course, you’ll be sent 5 informal writing tasks. You will send me your writing via email. I will in turn send you feedback and tips on your writing within 48 hours. After you’ve received my feedback, you can continue with the next writing task, until you’ve completed all of them. 

Once you’ve booked the course, you will receive a document with the following writing tasks:

  • An email (120-200 words)

  • A short essay (max. 300 words)

  • A travel journal (max. 450 words)

  • A postcard (e.g., birthday, holidays, thank you, marriage, etc.) 

For each of these tasks, you’ll be given clear instructions with 8 writing topics to choose from. (Only the diary and travel journal are completely free writing assignments).

Course price: €45

Writing course 3: keeping a diary

Keeping a diary is very good practice when learning a language. But what if you don’t know if the things you wrote are actually correct? Or what if you want to try writing what’s on your mind, but aren’t sure how? Then this course is for you! You can write about whatever you want in your diary. You can write about your weekend, your pet, a person you like, a game you played, etc. It’s the perfect course for practising with daily topics.

Course price: €10 per diary (max. 250 words)

Package deal of 5 diaries: €45

Writing course 4: personalised plan

Do you want feedback on one or more specific texts? Then please contact me via email to discuss the details and price.

In your email, please write:

  • How many texts you want feedback on.

  • What kind of texts they are (e.g., an email, a motivation letter for a job interview, a presentation text, an essay, etc.).

  • How many words each of your texts are.

  • Your current level of Dutch (A1-C2)

FAQs

  • You can take the writing courses with any level. Obviously, you will need some knowledge of vocabulary and grammar to be able to write pieces in Dutch, but you decide the level of difficulty you write with. I will also give you feedback based on your level and will make sure the tips are useful to you.

    'Writing course 2: formal writing' is, however, definitely a bit more challenging than 'Writing course 1: informal writing'. Therefore, I think this course is best for B1-level and up.

  • Yes, you definitely can! Both the informal and formal writing course have 8 writing assignments to choose from for every writing task. This makes it possible to re-take the course and choose a different assignment every time.

  • In this case, I advise you to choose the "personalised plan". You can contact me and explain what you want my help with. The course price will depend on the length and number of pieces you want feedback on.

    However, if you have very detailed questions and want to talk about them elaborately, I advise you to book a General Dutch Lesson instead.
