Simply Dutch: Dutch for Beginners

Simply Dutch: Dutch for Beginners

My course Simply Dutch: Dutch for Beginners is a language course that is specially designed for beginners in Dutch. In this course we will mainly focus on grammar. The course is divided into 12 chapters covering all kinds of grammar points such as verb tenses, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc. and even some grammar on intermediate level as well. This course basically covers everything you need to know as a beginner.

Each chapter is made up of at least 2 sections* and each section has its own lesson (video). The lessons are presented in a PowerPoint presentation format with around 80 slides in total.

In addition, each lesson comes with example sentences and at least one exercise. And there’s a listening exercise for each chapter. Click Resources (see the first lesson 1.1 Zijn (be)) to download the PDF documents Words & Sentences and the document Exercises. There you will also find a document on Pronunciation that will help you to pronounce Dutch words.

Also check out Additional notes for some extra information on some of the content you can find in the lessons.

* In the lessons I will sometimes mistakenly refer to the word 'paragraph' instead of 'section'. That's because in Dutch we use 'paragraaf' if we want to refer to a section within a chapter.

Be ready and comfortable
Most of the content discussed in the lessons cannot not be found in the documents that you will find under Resources. So it may be a good idea to take notes during the lessons. Of course you can always choose to go back to this course and review whatever it is you want to review.
Also, try not to go through the lessons too quickly. Learn at your own pace. Pause the video whenever you want or rewind and listen/read again. I highly recommend to check the above-mentioned documents under resources after each lesson before you move on to the next lesson.

Technical terms
With the aim to keep Dutch as simple as possible, some technical language terms are different from the more conventional technical language terms you may find elsewhere.
