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

Key features include:

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.

"A holistic approach to Dutch grammar for beginner students of Dutch, and more advanced students wanting to refresh their language skills. New, and very welcome, are the pronunciation guide and vocabulary lists per chapter. These features plus an answer key to the exercises make this new edition ideal for selfstudy."??
