Table of Contents

Part 1: Dutch for Beginners

A Comprehensive Guide for Learning the Dutch Language Fast

NOTE : The vocabularies of this book are spread over the content.

Each vocabulary is with the conversation or topic it belongs to. This prevents having a long list at the end of the book. Moreover, the learning of new words will be more gradual, and therefore, more pleasant. You might find some overlap, but that is just part of the learning process.

Introduction

So, you want to learn Dutchand fast! Well, although the learning process will be fun, be prepared, too, because Dutch grammar and spelling are mostly illogical. Do not despair, though; you will learn to shrug and move on. Plus, the Dutch admire people who try to speak their language, and they want to practice their English with you.

They pride themselves on speaking several languages, which is a necessity since relatively few people speak Dutch. Straightforwardness is also part of their culture, so be sure to take the lead in a conversation. Be bold, but in a pleasant way! In this book, you will not only discover the basics of the Dutch language but also learn more about the Dutch people, such as their habits and behaviors. Make sure to be open-minded with the correction of your pronunciation, words, and conjugations. Ask your family, friends, or fellow students to test you as you go. Before long, you will have mastered Dutch for Beginners !

Part 1 The Very Basics

The Dutch Alphabet

The Dutch alphabet is like the English alphabet, but with different names to spell each letter, like when you have to do that on the phone, e.g.: A Anna, Anton B Bernard C Cornelis D Dirk E Eduard F Ferdinand G Gerard H Hendrik I Isaak, Izaak J Jan, Johannes K Karel L Lodewijk M Maria, Marie N Nico O Otto P Pieter Q Quotint, Quirinus R Rudolf S Simon T Teunis, Theodoor, Tinus U Utrecht V Victor W Willem X Xantippe Y Ypsilon IJ IJsbrand Z Zaandam, Zacharias Some letters in Dutch are pronounced differently than they are in English: A English: ay Dutch: aaa B English: beee Dutch: bay C English: see Dutch: say D English: dee Dutch: day E English: ee Dutch: ey F the same G: English: gjeee Dutch: guh, with a throat sound (as if you have to cough or theres pressure on your windpipe) H English: 8tsh Dutch: haa I English: eye Dutch: ee J English: jay Dutch: yay K English: kay Dutch: kaaa L the same M the same N the same O the same P English: pee Dutch: pay Q English: cue Dutch: cu R English: are Dutch: eerrr S the same T English: tea Dutch: tay U English: you Dutch: uuu V English: vie Dutch: vay W English: double U Dutch: say wey (although Dutch are known for Double Dutch, they dont double in the alphabet) X English: ex Dutch: ix Y English: why Dutch: i grck IJ English: Dutch: ei Z the same See? Not hard at all! Try to speak the letters of the alphabet out loud a few times, to get the hang of it.

They should not be twisting your tongueyetso you can grow accustomed to them pretty fast.

Counting

Small children are very proud when they can count in their own languageand even prouder when they can throw in a few numbers in another language. It is time to make you proud as well:

een eyn
twee twey
drie drea
vier vear
vijf - veif
zes cs
zeven zayven
acht agggt
negen naygggen
tien tean

Did you observe that 8 has a ch, a double consonant? CH is pronounced like the G, so cough and you will pronounce it correctly. There are some more of these doubles, but they are detailed later on. Continue counting:

elf elv
twaalf twaalf
dertien dairteen
veertien veerteen
vijftien veifteen
zestien csteen
zeventien zayventeen
achttien agggteen
negentien naygggenteen
twintig twintigggg

Dont give up! From now on, it is as easy as pie 21 eenentwintig eynENtwintiggg and so on 22 tweentwintig 23 drientwintig 24 vierentwintig 25 vijfentwintig 26 zesentwintig 27 zevenentwintig 28 achtentwintig 29 negenentwintig 30 dertig It is easy to break down the way you count over 20. However, the Dutch do it the other way around, so different from what you are used to in English.

So, 23 is like 3 and 20 = 3 en 20; 26 is 6 and 20 = 6 en 20. It goes on like that up to 100. The tens: 10 teen 20 twintiggg 30 drtiggg 40 faertigggg 50 veiftiggg 60 cstiggg 70 zayventiggg 80 taggtig (mind the t!) 90 naygggentigg 100 honderd = hondurt 101 honderdeen 102 honderdtwee 130 honderddertig 165 honderdvijfenzestig 200 tweehonderd 300 driehonderd 1000 duycent Of course, once you see the logic of it, you can learn this by heart. Test yourself to see if you really know how to count: Tiny task #1: 13 = 8 = ; 27 = ; 63 = ; 78 = ; 104 = ; 12 = ; 140 = ; 549 = ; 636 = ; 244 = ; 82 = . How to say it in Dutch? Check the answers at the end of the book!

The Days of the Week

Unlike in English, Dutch does not use a capital letter for the days of the week. Monday maandag maandaggg Tuesday dinsdag dinzdaggg Wednesday woensdag wunzdaggg Thursday donderdag dondurdaggg Friday vrijdag vreidaggg Saturday zaterdag zaturdaggg Sunday zondag zndaggg The day has a morning, afternoon, evening, and night.

Morning ochtend or morgen morgggen Afternoon middag middaggg Evening avond afont Night nacht nagggtt Dutch glues the two words together when they want to indicate a specific part of the day: Monday evening maandagavond; Saturday afternoon zaterdagmiddag.

The Months of the Year

January januari jnywari February februari fbrywari March maart maaart April april pril May mei meiii June juni juuniii July juli juuuliii August augustus ouwgustus September september October oktober November november December december deycember Did you spot a resemblance with the days of the week? Yes! No capitals used for the months, either! And some of the months have the same pronunciation in both English and Dutch. Dutch use dates a bit differently than English. Dutch gives the day first, then the month. For instance: April 14 = 14 april; June 8 = 8 juni You can take this a bit further: 2020, April 14 = 14 april 2020; 2020, June 8 = 8 juni 2020
