Basic Dutch (Routledge Grammar Workbooks)

Basic Dutch: A Grammar and Workbook comprises an accessible reference grammar and related exercises in a single volume. This second edition contains new chapters on spelling, pronunciation, and indirect speech, as well as revised and additional exercises with lists of new vocabulary.

This comprehensive book presents 31 individual grammar points in realistic contexts, taking a grammatical approach that allows students not already familiar with these structures to become accustomed to their use. Grammar points are followed by examples and exercises, allowing students to reinforce and consolidate their learning.

Key features include:

• a full answer key
• grammar tables for easy reference
• frequent comparative references to English grammar
• 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.
