Lagelands is a tutor-supported online course for beginning learners of Dutch for which no prior knowledge of Dutch is required. The course consists of ten chapters. Each chapter includes reading and listening texts (mainly dialogues), accompanied by comprehension and vocabulary exercises. There is also a grammar section (with a link to a separate reference grammar of Dutch), and a section on pronunciation. Each chapter also has a number of general exercises to practise listening, writing and speaking. Many exercises are self-correcting, but some need to be mailed to the course tutor for feedback. Each chapter ends with a revision section and a comprehensive final assignment which is sent to the tutor for feedback. The reference grammar contains further self-correcting exercises which are freely available for private study.
