Review
"A holistic approach to Dutch grammar for beginner students of Dutch, and more advanced students wanting to refresh their language skills. New, and very welcome, are the pronunciation guide and vocabulary lists per chapter. These features plus an answer key to the exercises make this new edition ideal for selfstudy."

4.0 out of 5 stars Some knowledge of Dutch helpful
I’ve been teaching myself Dutch for about 2 years, decided it was past time for a grammar book. I’m in Unit four. I know about 1,500 Dutch words and that is helpful for reading the exercises-I would even say necessary. I like the format and the practice sentences. Answers are in the back. This is her second edition of this workbook; her excellent ratings on the first version encouraged me to get this updated second edition. I like the glossary of new words at the end of each unit, but it’s not as comprehensive as it could be. I circle the words I don’t know to practice later. Ring binding would make this a five star purchase. Happy with my purchase!
3.0 out of 5 stars Not a fan of these exercises
This is my second Dutch book. I'm self-taught and hoped the exercises would expand my command of the language, but instead, I feel like I'm regressing.A lot of the exercises are fill-in-the-blank, so it helps if you can already read the language at A2. However, I realized that it was possible in several cases to follow the grammar rule and get the correct answer without having any understanding of the language. Het-words were starred so you knew which rule to follow. Strong verbs were starred so you knew which conjugation rule to follow. This does not challenge the student to recognize words in context and remember which category they fall into. In exercises regarding simple past, the answer key just had -de or -te referencing which ending to choose, assuming the student knew and would not make mistakes on identifying stems that differ from the infinitive form. When I was trying to figure out the hen/hun/ze use, there were no example sentences with hun and in all the exercises, not a single one used hun.In exercises where we are asked to construct a sentence, all the elements of that sentence are supplied, so it might be a test of a single verb conjugation and/or word order. However, due to the presentation of the exercises, it's not always necessary to understand the words you are arranging. I don't feel that I've become better at constructing sentences.I've completed 21 chapters hoping it would get better, and I'm not sure if I'm going to finish the rest. This was not the book for me.
