You live in The Hague but do not speak the Dutch language
adequately.
You would like to learn Dutch, in order to be able to use it in everyday
situations like buying groceries, going to the doctor or speaking to your
child's school teacher..
What can Stichting Ontmoeting met Buitenlandse Vrouwen (Foundation for
Meeting Foreign Women) offer you? The OBV can tell you about ways for
you to learn Dutch.
The OBV offers language courses at home or on locations close to your
home.
They can also advise you about finding another language organisation more
suitable to your situation.
Language courses at home
When it is not possible for you to leave the house in order to take a
course, it is still possible for you to learn Dutch. The OBV organises
language courses for women at home.
For 6 to (a maximum of) 12 months a volunteer visits you at home to teach
you Dutch. The lessons are once a week and take about one to two hours.
When the course is completed you receive a certificate. The OBV can also
provide a follow-up course or help you to find one. When you apply for
a language course at home, you first have an interview. We assess your
language level and decide whether or not the OBV lessons are suitable
for you.
The language lessons at home cost € 20 registration fee for one year,
including textbooks. For more information contact the OBV on 070-345 60
05 or send an email to
info@obvdenhaag.nl.

Group activities
The OBV also organizes group activities for women at a location close
to your home. The Dutch lessons are given twice a week and take one and
a half hours. For a maximum of one year an OBV volunteer gives Dutch lessons
to a small group of women (maximum: eight). Women can bring their children
up to the age of four.
If you apply for a language course in one of the OBV groups, you first
have an interview. We assess your language level and see whether or not
the OBV course will be suitable for you. The language lessons in a group
cost € 25 registration fee for a year, including textbooks.
For more information contact the OBV on 070-345 60 05 or send an email
