Listen
You’ll develop a vocabulary of over 2000 words as you listen to this engaging 9 CD set recorded by native Dutch speakers. To ease you into your first few lessons, the words are spoken slowly (but without distorting the intonation of the language). But as you progress and improve the lessons are spoken at normal speed.
Understand
As you listen and read the language from the 4 colour coursebooks you will discover the meaning of each word. Familiar everyday objects have exciting new names. Words and then phrases start to become clear and your reading, writing and speaking will improve.
Speak
Start speaking from the very first lesson. Many people find speaking a new language to be the hardest part and that’s why you’ll start speaking Dutch from your very first lesson. Right from the beginning, you can get started with the correct pronunciation.
