    im almost certain that dutch will be examined at international standard. therefore fluency is expected. this applies to the new eastern languages that were also examined for the first time last year(excluding russian )

    I don't know if this is a leaving Cert subject but if you are interested I think it would be a great idea to learn it if you have experience with German. The two languages are very similar grammatically.

    Actually all EU languages can be studied as a LC subject becos some EU law forces the government to allow so. Good news for any of our immigrant students from Poland, Estonia, Latvia etc. Easy points

    Donm't expect ti to be easy even if you speak Dutch. If I recall correctly, the EU languages are heavily based on the European baccalaureate exams.

    You can do it on the condition you're a native speaker. You will not be permitted to sit it unless you're fluent. I'm doing Finnish that way. It's based on the IB and is about 6 hours long. You study literature and write essays. They've just updated them and they're now an absolute b!tch so do not attempt it unless you're certain you could complete the whole LC Higher English syllabus in Dutch. I'm terrified and I can speak(every day at home), read and write but because I've had no formal Finnish education in 2 years I'm scared I'll only get like a C. It used to just be one essay until this year.

    You'll have to find your own teacher. Go to St. Andrew's if you want to study it as they're an international school and offer the option to study your mother tongue if your parents work for the EU Commission. You can tag along if you're lucly enough to have other people whose parents are working there too, even if yours aren't.
