- Class Description:
- Why study Dutch? How is it that the Dutch-speaking world has had such an enormous impact on global business, the politics of health care, environmental policy, international law, the fine arts and architecture? How did the Dutch become a model for the political, social, and economic revolutions that shaped our contemporary world? Learning Dutch is more than just learning a language, it is an opening of the mind to the creative, ethical and moral debates of our times. While the US is debating gay marriage, legalization of drugs, prostitution, terminal care/euthanasia, pension and healthcare reform, the Dutch have forged creative and practical solutions which maximize the individual's rights and freedoms while adhering to ethical standards and the dignity of life. Study Dutch and find out what is so unique about the Dutch. Dutch language study is intensive but very rewarding: You'll be reading Dutch easily and speaking confidently by the end of your studies. Most importantly you will gain insight into the worldly and creative Dutch spirit and open your mind to new possibilities for building a useful international dimension into your education. Ample opportunities exist for continuing and perfecting your Dutch through further study in the Netherlands or Dutch-speaking Belgium. The Department of German, Scandinavian and Dutch welcomes you to Dutch 1001 this fall!
