This simple and effective introduction to Dutch teaches everything one needs to speak, understand, read, and write in Dutch. This program assumes no background in the language, and it explains each new concept clearly with plenty of examples, making it ideal for beginners or anyone who wants a thorough review. Living Language Dutch includes:
·Natural dialogues, clear grammar notes, vocabulary building, and key expressions ·Notes on culture, cuisine, history, geography, and more ·Real life “discovery” activities and internet resources
A useful resource, however as a German speaker I have to wonder whether some of the vocabulary and phrases given were a bit unnatural-as the German equivalents would be. This could be a case of "false friends" though (it would be interesting to hear from a Dutch person what they thought!)and this would be useful to a total beginner with not much time to prepare for a trip to the Netherlands.
