This book was an amazing tool in my discovering the workings of Dutch grammar.
I definitely recommend it to people who have already completed a Dutch course for beginners.
After finishing this book, I feel like I can plunge headlong into the Intermediate Dutch book and more complicated issues of the language.
10/10 - it was a real pleasure to work through this book.

A clear, concise and well structured book for brushing up your Dutch skills or beginning with elementary Dutch. The explanation and reasoning for rules is well explained. The division in 25 chapters with ample exercises facilitates the learning. Recommended.

December 24, 2022It only took me three years to finish this book! It was very hard.
I'm also done with Goodreads. Find my at The StoryGraph if you still want to see what I'm reading: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile.... The recommendations are much better, plus it's not owned by Amazon.

Overall, great *basic* introduction! However, some things are unclear/ wrong. Not (that) important ones though.
I do recommend it, but with complementary material. Always, for a *basic* introduction to Dutch.

It focuses more on grammar. Don't exprect to learn to speak from this book, it works better as a complement of other better books to learn.
