  • In order to use the time during the lesson optimally, always do the exercises in the column “Before the lesson” before each lesson. You will usually need to listen to a text or read it (or both) and to fill out a table afterwards. That way you will get used to the new words and the topic. The audio tracks can be accessed here. The transcripts of the audio files can be found in the textbook from p. 317 on. Many other useful things can also be found at the end of the book.

  • The solutions of the homework exercises from the textbook can be found here.

  • Find the translations to the instructions of the homework here.

  • There are chapter overviews (overzicht) at the end of each chapter (hoofdstuk). Look at those frequently. The key to the tables that you fill out as homework can be found there. Also, the grammar and the useful phrases can be found at the end of each chapter.

  • In orde to recap the lesson, do the assignments under After the lesson.

  • You will find the links to the written assignments in the course overview, under Written assignment. The assignments should be handed in in that week. Click on the link in the course overview and submit the assignment.

  • The test at the last lesson is a written online test. The test takes 30 minutes to complete, and involves chapters 1 to 4.
