Some Great Resources For Dutch
Hey guys! I just wanted to make this post to compile some really great Dutch learning resources that everyone learning Dutch should use!!! (Just as a disclaimer, I relatively just started learning Dutch so my knowledge of the language isn’t very extensive but anywayyy):
1. Duolingo in Dutch: A very, very great way to begin learning Dutch or any language that they provide! Very basic yet they introduce a lot of useful grammar points and useful vocabulary!
2. http://ielanguages.com/dutch1.html - website for learning Dutch with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and more
3. http://www.learndutch.nu/ - website that’s really great for grammar
4. http://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=Main.HomePage - website that is HIGHLY EXTENSIVE for Dutch grammar!!!!!
5. http://dutchgrammar.com/forum/index.php?sid=126aadfb83e39379d428e5b5d93ef020 - a forum where people write in Dutch and you can make an account and write too! Great for comprehension and writing!
6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCA2DyqYvF0 - video on Dutch pronunciation
7. http://data.wpg.be/inkijken/9789044621846.pdf - Fifty Shades of Grey in Dutch ( I KNOW I KNOW DON’T HATE ME!!!! ) but seriously just search for books in Dutch as pdf format and anything’ll come up :D
8. interpals.net - for finding pen pals in any language :)
9. youtube.com - search for anything that’ll lead you to Dutch videos, even if you don’t understand it! I keep watching the same Dutch interview with Audrey Hepburn (because she’s perfect) just to hear the beautiful language that is Dutch! Listen to music, watch videos, etc, etc!
10. http://www.verbix.com/languages/dutch.shtml - a very nice Dutch verb conjugator which also supports other languages :D
11. http://ankisrs.net/ and http://quizlet.com/ - for making flashcards!
12. http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70307400?trkid=13752289 - IF YOU HAVE NETFLIX! This is an absolutely lovely movie, in Dutch with English subtitles, about two boys who fall in love and if you love romance and that stuff then it’s really great! The photography of the movie is absolutely beautiful, you’ll love it! Also, it’s a very slow-paced movie so the characters don’t speak very fast! Watch it!!!
Hope you guys use/like these wonderful resources! Keep learning Dutch and never listen to anyone who says it’s too hard or it’s useless!!!
Also, if you want to practice/speak together, I’m always up for it! :D
