    Very good explanation of grammar. Useful and contemporary vocabulary. Valuable cultural insights if you are planning to visit The Netherlands. The only thing that displeased me is that the Colloquial series no longer comes with audio CD's or cassettes . Instead, you have to download the audio from their website. I am a baby boomer, so I prefer something more old fashioned like CD's or cassettes. Oh well!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2020

    I've had this book for over a year, but have started to read it only recently as a supplement to my Dutch course (Nederlands In Gang). I can now appreciate this book: I have gained some fluency (via the exercises and audio recordings), and have understood the words, and expressions in the context of native language speakers. This has been an added, and much needed, learning in addition to Nederlands In Gang, which my tutor uses, and is completely in Dutch.

    I struggled to follow the course in this Dutch book on my own without taking Dutch lessons. The reader, without a teacher, will have to look up most words in the text and that discouraged me last year from reading the book. But whilst I'm on a Dutch course, I know most of these words already, so reading this book has become simpler.

    In short - I recommend this book to people who're on a Dutch course.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un ottimo manuale di neerlandese.
    Reviewed in Italy on 9 October 2017

    " Colloquial Dutch " è un ottimo manuale di neerlandese, adatto sia ai principianti, sia a chi ha già una certa conoscenza della lingua. La grammatica è spiegata in modo esemplare, le letture ed i dialoghi sono in lingua moderna e accompagnati da ottime registrazioni, con abbondanti esempi ed esercizi ben costruiti. E' ovvio - ma è bene sottolinearlo - che il suo uso richiede una conoscenza più che buona della lingua di partenza, che è l'inglese.Detto questo, mi si permetta una piccola osservazione, che però non toglie nulla al mio giudizio. Forse si sarebbe potuto evitare di sprecare un' intera pagina per insegnare ad imprecare ( ed anche peggio, a bestemmiare ) in olandese, cosa che non mi sembra così indispensabile, e si sarebbe potuto aggiungere, nel capitolo sulla fonetica, qualche cenno al fenomeno dell'assimilazione delle consonanti, che non è di secondaria importanza come potrebbe sembrare, perché la sua conoscenza permette di capire meglio chi parla e di avere una pronuncia più autentica e naturale.
