Our teachers also participated in the song festival. They sang in different languages about learning their languages (Spanish, Dutch, French, Chinese, German, and Arabic). Thank you all!

The Dutch language courses went on an excursion in Amsterdam yesterday! The A1 groups explored the ‘Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder’. Our tour guide led us through a well-preserved canal house from the 17th century with a completely hidden Catholic church in the attic!

Also, our Chinese class went to China town where they first completed some language tasks, went to a Chinese restaurant, and went to a Chinese medicine centre where they tried coupling and acupuncture.

Our Dutch class (B1.1) went to Museum "Het Rembrandthuis". Besides the tour they had an etching workshop.
