Vacations allowance. Financial aid.

Good afternoon,

before you start with some news just like to amend something I said in my first post. In this post I mentioned that the subsidy was not mandatory vacation but I was wrong. In Holland the holiday allowance amounting to 8% of annual salary, or if you have worked a whole year gets a little less than one month’s salary. The vacation work the same way, with a 6-month contract has been entitled to 12 vacation days.

Dutch lessons – Help for newcomers

One of the things I was looking classes were Dutch. The cheapest I found were € 22.5 / week, 1 lesson per week for 3 hours. How am I and my partner would be € 50 / week, which would be quite expensive. After much searching I discovered that the Chamber of Apeldoorn had a program for foreigners that included free Dutch lessons. I just had to send an email to arrange an interview. In the interview we say if we want the classes at night or day, explain to us that lessons last about a year to a maximum of one year and a half, we must be assiduous and make a final exam in reading, writing and oral. We still have a person who connects us once a week to talk with us practicing to go Dutch.

17/08/2011 – Update on the classes:

Classes are for one year and a half, three times a week, three hours a day, attendance is mandatory. In the final examination is carried out and deliver a curriculum. If you give up due to the movement told me that it might not have to pay anything, because if we give no more no less, because many hours are long, we have to pay a fine that does not know the amount. You need to have consistency if you really want to travel and have time to complete. I heard that if tb has to pass the test but pays a bribe to do it again, I hear.
