Education/courses
BplusC is Leiden's leading Centre of Art and Culture, organizing a wide variety of courses for both children and adults in Leiden, Wassenaar, Oegstgeest and Voorschoten. BplusC offers language courses, including English and Dutch at different levels, and Spanish and Italian for beginners. In addition, all dance, music and visual arts courses are readily accessible to English-speaking participants. The language of tuition will be Dutch but the terminology used is either international or else can easily be translated by the teacher.
We are happy to provide participants with further information and advice, always in consultation with the teachers concerned.
Library
The BplusC Language House [Taalhuis] provides information and advice for all those who would like to read, write or speak (better) Dutch. The Language House offers course material, dictionaries, easy readers as well as workplaces where you can practise the language. Every week, there is also a Language Clinic.
BplusC offers reading hours to children in Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Children love being read to, and exploring and reading books together with parents or other adults. Reading to children encourages the language and speech development in children and helps them concentrate: your child will benefit from this throughout their life.
For more information on courses and their services, see their website.
