Dutch grammar for beginners: new book

Pleased to announce my latest book: Dutch grammar for beginners. Most English speaking beginners have the same questions about Dutch. That’s why I wrote this brand new book, which serves both as an exercise book as well as a reference book.

Included are all the different pronouns, the tenses beginners need to learn, many prepositions, and more. A link to the appropriate videos on my YouTube channel is added.

Enjoy!

Dutch grammar books: recommendations

Dutch grammar is… well, Dutch grammar. Always a good idea to know the rules, even though there are many exceptions. Some handbooks also include grammar as well as books to teach yourself. But in this post, we’ll cover books focusing primarily on the Dutch grammar.
