International Community

It goes without saying that a city and region with multinationals like Philips, DAF and ASML, with a High Tech Campus and a University of Technology, have numerous international contacts. There are also all kinds of networks for partners or carers. Just take a look.

Language courses

Even though the Dutch nearly all speak good English, learning some Dutch is recommended. It will help you in everyday life and Dutch people will appreciate that you have made the effort.

If you want official recognition of your Dutch language skills (in order to work for instance) you will need a course which offers exams within the NT2 structure. This is administered by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. See their website at www.minocw.nl

There are lots of language-training organizations in the area. Here is a selection:
