2000 Most Common Dutch Words in Context: Get Fluent & Increase Your Dutch Vocabulary with 2000 Dutch Phrases

The book is alright, but it can be made better if, the words are group coloured, meaning all nouns can be in the colour red, and all articles can be in the colour blue helping the reader to better remember the function of each word in a sentence by associating them with colour, this also helps to easily remember the general word order of the language. Another similar thing, the translation of of the dutch sentence can also have the same colour as its dutch word to properly relate where the word order differs from English. *At 65th sentence "her" is repeated twice.

Excellent book

I've been trying to learn Dutch for a while and have various courses to learn from. I like this book because expanding vocabulary really helps with understanding. Even from the beginning, the examples provide new words I haven't come across yet in other courses. They're actually useful conversational examples, things I'd really like to learn, and will use. You can pick it up and put it down at will, learning as much as you want at a time; I find other course books a little more serious and draining. This is nice addition to the hard grammar stuff I struggle with, much easier to digest. I'm very pleased with it. It also reinforces all the words you already know which is a nice boost to esteem when learning another language!

I started with their books about the Russian language and now I'm branching out to explore more idioms. This book in particular is, for me, the essential dictionary that can help me to tackle Dutch, a language I've been interested in for a long time. I have it on my Kindle and I can study new words every day, everywhere. I think it's long enough to build a vocabulary and short enough not to be a scary reading. It's really helpful.

Lingo Mastery continues on its important mission – to make Dutch more accessible to a wider population. In the Introductory Note the goal is stated well: ‘Dutch is spoken by 17 million people in the Netherlands, 6.5 million people in Belgium, and approximately another million people living around the world. Whether you’re living in the Netherlands or Belgium right now, moving there soon, or just want to learn the language to speak to your Dutch-speaking friends and family: this phrase book is an excellent tool for beginners, as well as intermediate learners, to support their language learning journey. Vocabulary is the foundation to learning a foreign language. Being able to recognize words in the language you’re learning, both written and spoken, is the basis of eventually mastering the language, even if you don’t understand the grammar constructions being used in the sentence…Context is the key…the four best skills – listening, reading, speaking and writing.’ After their success teaching Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese and Russian, now they turn to teaching Dutch! And it works. After some valuable grammar notes, the vocabulary is presented from articles, to nouns, to verbs, pronouns, prepositions, etc. The phrases that follow highlight the intended words and place them in context – a very easy way to remember the new Dutch words. Taking it slowly, step by step with practice, Dutch words become accessible! The technique is solid and the lessons well taught. This is a very fine introduction to Dutch vocabulary that may arise when you visit the Netherlands or Belgium, appropriate for all age levels. Grady Harp, May 20

This is a really helpful book for anyone wanting to improve their knowledge of Dutch quickly. It is far easier to learn words in context than from a list, though I would suggest that they divide it according to subject. That way if you needed vocabulary for a specific activity it would be easier to find, rather than go through the whole book. I think I will use it a lot and soon remember where everything is, because I really want to improve my Dutch. Generally a very useful book.
