Excellent beginner's course
I've learnt several languages up to conversational level in my time, and came to Dutch out of necessity. What I like about this book is its clear and simple approach. Each chapter introduces a "next step" of the language, including vocabulary and grammar. What's nice is that each conversation piece is then broken down into its constituent phrases, each of which is separately translated. So there is an element of repetition, which in my experience is essential to learning not only languages, but any skill, be it piano-playing, mastering your serve in tennis, or whatever. The main requirement in all of these is repetition, or drilling, i.e. practice. Then there is the layout. It is very clean and simple, without too much information per page. Visual clarity lends itself to learning clarity. The only language books I have found comparable in this respect are the "Living Spanish, Living German etc. " series. I've come across some language books which throw out a lot of new stuff at you in a single chapter, without the drilling or repetition. They get some good reviews, but it doesn't work for me. I love this little book. I started off with a more heavily grammatical book "Hugo Dutch In Three Months", which I'd also recommend, but the Teach Yourself is possibly the best for complete beginners, especially if you're of the younger generation in the UK, whose schooling now completely omits the study of English or foreign grammar, something my generation were fortunate enough to be schooled in. The accompanying CDs are essential. I've ripped them to my PC, then used "Audacity" software to split up the audio conversations into smaller pieces, so that I hear a key phrase, then a silence, then the phrase repeated - two or three times. Saved as small MP3s onto an MP3 player, one can be learning anywhere, anytime. Five stars.
