Dutch Made Easy – Lower Beginner – Part 1 of 2 – Series 1 of 3

This is an abridged version of the audiobook with the improved and practical format of having the eBook enhanced with audio.

We broke our new series on learning Dutch down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series.

Our experienced educators and speakers possess the linguistic skills to help you understand and speak Dutch clearly. We are very proud to have developed a product that truly helps you learn Dutch quickly and easily, anytime and anywhere.

This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Dutch. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.

In Unit 1 you will hear Dutch decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.

Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Dutch speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.

By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Dutch. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Dutch at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Dutch, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.

In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

We developed our audiobooks to enable you to learn without an eBook. This gives you the opportunity to advance your Dutch language skills anywhere whether you’re on the go or waiting around.

As the audiobook is neatly arranged into many sub-units, it is also very practical for educators to navigate and use in classrooms or any time sensitive learning environment.
