Format:Paperback
I was impressed with this course. The cds allow the student to practise the correct pronounciation which is so important for those just wanting to be able to hold a conversation, but the course also goes into spelling and grammer points, for the more serious student. Each point is made clearly with instruction being given as to where the usual patterns are not followed and which parts the student must learn by heart. Well worth the money

I found the Dutch in 3 months course very easy to follow and enjoyable. The cassetes are an invaluable part of the course. Grammar points are well explained. Every chapter has revision exercises a speaking exercises. I liked the overall style of the book and the way was layed out.

very good language course, a little bit boring, but has all the grammer (yawn) and structure (yawn yawn) you need. But with this course you start from the begining, and learn it properly. It's NOT a dutch conversation course.
The CD's really help with pronunciation, which I think is essential with Dutch as it sounds completely different to English, even though a lot of the words look the same, they are pronounced completely differently. I's aldo recommend Intertaal 'Taal Vitaal Nederlands voor beginners' (which makes learning Dutch fun) and 'Teach Yourself Dutch' (which has all the grammer but in dialogue form, which is also more fun!).

Excellent grammatical and colloquial text
A sound grammatically based introduction to Dutch which I have found invaluable, since I have studied three other European languages using a grammatically based approach. Read more

Not as good as the old Hugo textbook
The main problem with this book is that the English translations are on the same pages as the Dutch text. This is distracting and impedes learning. Read more
