Taalhuis Amsterdam - Amsterdam (Gerard Doustraat 220)

Taalhuis Amsterdam operates as a "house for languages" in the heart of De Pijp, teaching 11 languages from native speakers representing cultures around the Mediterranean and beyond. Dutch courses form a major part of the program, with classes running throughout the year at multiple levels. The school occupies a beautiful building with 13 spacious classrooms, a welcoming café serving daily lunch buffets and excellent coffee, a library, and a bookstore where students can purchase course materials. Beyond standard courses, Taalhuis organizes cultural events like film nights, intercambios (language exchanges), cooking classes, and book clubs. Annual language trips take students abroad for full immersion experiences: Dutch on the island Schiermonnikoog, Italian in Torino, Greek in Pelion. Private lessons and in-company training provide personalized options. The school also serves as an official CILS examination center for Italian certification. Deepening courses let students revisit important grammar topics after completing a level, while conversation courses focus on building speaking confidence. The multilingual environment means questions can be answered in Greek, French, Italian, or other Taalhuis languages.
