Format:Paperback
I purchased 'Colloquial Dutch' alongside the 'Teach Yourself Beginners Dutch' book and CD pack. I wish now that I had only bought the 'Colloquial Dutch' book since it is considerably better than the latter. Although it perhaps a little harder to get to grips with (especially if you know nothing of linguistics) it is clearly the better of the two; I would strongly recommend it to anybody learning Dutch. In addition one should buy the tape pack, unless you have a grip on the Dutch 'g' 'ch' and various vowel sounds.

This book not only teaches you colloquial phrases, but where and when to use them.
Grammar and language manipulation is taught throughout, in a clear and comprehensible manner. The activities used to teach you, such as puzzles, are often fun and the dialogues are usually based lively family situations.
The 'culture points' are often humorously written, but are also detailed and useful in getting to know more about Dutch society and the way their people act.
On the whole a great book that's easy and fun to use; the standard one should expect from modern language courses!

Good course 4 Aug 2003
By Jr Edge
Format:Paperback
A good course. But you do need to get the tapes or CDs which for some reason are not available from Amazon (I had to order themn separately from the publisher). Recommendable.

good for students with a little Dutch knowledge 22 Jan 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is perhaps a bit too intense for an introductory text (for that you should try Dutch in Three Months), but if the reader has already studied the language a little and wants a good discussion of some of the subtle nuances of Dutch, this is a good bet. The companion audiocassettes are excellent.

Een erg goed boek! 23 July 1999
By Ikpgn@aol.com - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A very good book if you want to learn "real" Dutch. The conversations are more realistic and they use real words that people actually say. It's a good book to learn from if you want to learn Dutch how it's really spoken. I think it's easy to use and understand. Ik hoop dat u hebben een goed tijd lernend van dit boek als ik gedaan!

colloquial series 24 Feb 2005
By Catty M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've tried many other language/phrase book, and I think the Colloquial Series are the best for beginners who plan to learn and pursue to a higher level.

This book explains every details on grammars and usage...and the cultural points are interesting as well.

The explanations are very clear and you'll find the learning process with colloquial series is very smooth, you'll hardly feel lost...

The audio CD mainly focus on conversations in every chapters, I like it because the native speakers talk as they are in everyday life (kind of fast for beginners), which is good cuz it's realistic...Just listen to it over and over until you're able to understand everything.

The only thing I don't like about the audio CD is that I wish it can provide more recordings on how to pronounce some important phrases rather than just numbers.

Hope you'll enjoy learning w/ this book
