Brilliant little guide!
I got this book on the side to help with learning dutch and its stunningly good! Its everything you could need from a phrasebook, it has lots of nice little bits you would expect not to see. A few examples being it has a section on phrases if you are seeking vegetarian food, the little pictures of road signs and their meanings and particularly the section that is headed 'Practicalities' which contains all sorts of helpful tidbits.
Something I also found very helpful was that throughout the book every saying has pronunciation help underneath it. It is very up to date and has the perfect balance between important and informative and modern day colloquialism that I haven't found with other books. It has a very friendly approach, using lots of colour, and is another wonder of the Collins gem collection. Absolutely 5*s its a little pot of gold you can fit in your pocket(and it actually does to!)

Will certainly get you through your trip
Whilst almost everyone speaks English in the Netherlands, I like to have some knowledge of the local language when I go abroad, and this phrasebook is perfect. Handy size and plenty of info.

An excellent compact language guide
Dutch Phrasebook CD Pack (Collins GEM)

An excellent language guide , much smaller than the usual Berlitz guides but equally useful, with clear pronunciation guide for every phrase.
