UM Language Centre's course in Social Dutch fosters connection in Maastricht
More and more international students participate in the Social Dutch language course at the UM Language Centre. The course is so popular, there's a waiting list and the local news has dedicated a news article and TV item to it.
According to the news item by L1 Nieuws, international students are enthusiastic about learning Dutch at the UM Language Centre. This is partly due to the goal of the beginners' Dutch courses at the UM Language Centre: to not only teach students basic skills in the Dutch language, but also introduce them to Dutch culture and help them integrate better into the city.
UM is taking extra steps for students to settle into the city and become familiar with the Dutch language, by providing extra capacity and an expanding range of courses. Thanks to the free Social Dutch course and the planned expansion in 2025, UM contributes to more connection between the international student population and the locals in Maastricht, the article conveys.
