Grammar points are followed by examples and exercises, allowing students to reinforce and consolidate their learning.

Key features include:

appendices of pronunciation, pronouns, and strong verbs

a list of new vocabulary at the end of each chapter

Suitable for class use or self-study, Basic Dutch is the ideal companion for students in their first year of study, providing the basic tools needed to communicate in a variety of situations and an introduction to Dutch culture.
