Product Description
This intensive foundation course in Dutch is designed for students with no previous knowledge of the language. It is lively and fast-paced, offering students a wide range of activities, and drawing on an impressive selection of source material from many different media. Audio materials are presented on accompanying cassettes.
Students using the Routledge Intensive Dutch Course will practice the four key skills of language learning -- reading, writing, speaking, and listening -- and will acquire a thorough working knowledge of the structures of Dutch.
The Routledge Intensive Dutch Course takes students from beginner to intermediate level in one year.
Guidance for tutors as well as links to related sites will be available at www.routledge.com/intensive/dutch.

 NEEDS CD July 11, 2008

What isn't said here is that the course is incomplete without the CD-ROM, which isn't included and isn't available even from routledge. In fact, I would say that without the CD-ROM the book shouldn't even be sold, but apparently the folks at Routledge disagree.
 Niet te slecht maar ook niet te goed January 23, 2007

Don't purchase this as your first book on the Dutch language. It overemphasizes the colloquial, spoken language, with all its slang and grammatical complexities without laying a solid foundation in the basics of communication. The subjects presented concentrate on day to day situations so it's very interesting, but I would have been completely overwhelmed had this been my first book on Nederlands. Although I know only een beetje (a little) from the other boeken that ik heb gekocht (I bought), I know genoeg (enough) to get through the first few lessons without too much difficulty.
In a stunning demonstration of crudity, the book doesn't shy away from quoting passages containing foul language, which certainly has no place in any textbook, IMHO.
So, first look for a book that's makkelijk (easy) and then when you've mastered some of the elements of the language, you'll be ready for this one.
