Language Institute Regina Coeli

Regina Coeli, founded in 1963 by the Sisters of the Holy Order of Saint Augustine, has become synonymous with intensive language learning in the Netherlands. Known as "The Nuns of Vught," the institute offers fully immersive residential programs where students spend entire days focused on language acquisition. The peaceful Vught campus includes on-site accommodation (Guestwing Eikenheuvel), restaurant, gym, and walking grounds, creating an environment where language learning becomes total immersion. Most students follow one-week programs combining private lessons with independent study, group sessions, and language tables. A typical day starts with breakfast, followed by two morning lessons, elegant buffet lunch with other students, two afternoon lessons, and evening activities. All instructors are highly educated native Dutch speakers who tailor lessons to each student's professional context and learning objectives. The institute's complete Dutch beginner course promises A2 level in maximum 10 days. Weekend programs offer condensed 2-day options with 7 private hours, 7 independent study hours, 3 group sessions, and 2 language tables. Regina Coeli also runs group courses at High Tech Campus Eindhoven for Brainport region expats.
