Product Description

Teach Yourself Dutch Dictionary contains a comprehensive vocabulary for working Dutch. There are approximately 17,000 words in the Dutch-English section and about 14,000 in the English-Dutch, though the actual number of equivalents is far greater than this, and certainly enough for everyday use. Special care has been taken to include idiomatic usage so that this dictionary is extensive in its coverage but also concise and practical to use.

There is a special section on sounds and spelling and a concise Dutch grammar section for easy reference.

This edition has been updated by the authors of the bestselling Teach Yourself Dutch, Teach Yourself Beginner's Dutch and Teach Yourself Dutch Grammar to include the most recent usage of the language and make grammar explanations clearer.

Customer Reviews

not worth de geld
this is a bad, bad piece of work. My advice: you won't find half of what you're looking for in here, so spend that little bit more and by the routledge dutch dictionary. It costs about £7-8 more, but is infinitely better.

A good beginner's dictionary
The dictionary contains a lot of words for a beginner's one so you probably will be able to find the word! It also has a grammar section which can be quite useful.

However sometimes when there are a few meanings to a word the dictionary is not helpful in deciding which one is most appropriate. It merely lists possible meanings without guidance.

Also the dictionary is relatively cheap compared to similar ones. So it's worth it.

OK as a dictionary, but some things are missing!
I have just started to learn Dutch and the book has been ok to use - especially as the font is quite large in comparison to other people's dictionaries. The only problem is that it does not seem to have any plurals, which makes it difficult!
