I found this layman way of capturing sounds extremely confusing. In linguistics there is a convention to capture transcription in a way that is both unambiguous and suits most languages. The authors could have also found the concept of "reduced vowels in unaccented syllables" quite helpful, instead of inventing something like 'short way' of pronouncing this vowel and that vowel that sounds like 'uh' and repeating this same phrase for all vowels. The into could have benefited from a consultation with language professionals, and the phrase book itself from better transcription.

This book plainly explains how to pronounce the the language, then it goes on to explain how to pronounce common words, and sentences. I have been learning Dutch for a year and this book helps me with my studies and compliments the program I am using.

Very good and easy to learn with.

Lingo Mastery continues to be a valuable resource to make Dutch more accessible to a wider population. Following in the style of Dutch Words in Context, Dutch Short Stories, and Conversational Dutch Dialogues this new volume of 1500 Dutch Phrases is full of new vocabulary to enhance communication. In the Introductory Note the goal is stated well: ‘The Dutch language is a West Germanic language, which is closely related to the English language. Still, it has complex grammar, and is full of tongue-twisting words filled with unique pronunciation of certain consonants. However, with our book, learning the basics of the Dutch language will be easier than you thought it would be. Experience with other foreign languages is definitely beneficial in the process, especially if you speak German, but do not worry if you have none – many Dutch words are derived from English, which will be of great help to you! Dutch also uses the Latin alphabet, and since you are already familiar with its letters, you don’t have to worry about having to master an entirely new alphabet. Successful acquisition of a foreign language is based on making connections in your brain that help you memorize things, and then putting them in context when you need them most…’What follows, before the phrases placed here to learn, is a fine lesson in pronunciation of vowels, consonants, the importance of stress and intonation, and then the supply of valuable lessons begins – colors, numbers, greetings, date and time, common questions, medical, ordering food, transportation, religious questions, emergency, technology, conversation tips, date night, money and shopping, children and pets, traveler’s guide, directions, apologies, small talk, business, the weather, hotel, sports and exercise – all spelled out in accessible format with Dutch to English translation to correct pronunciation for learning. And so it proceeds with one of the more accessible adjuncts to mastering the Dutch vocabulary in a manner that places words in context and thus – easy to remember!The technique is solid and the lessons well taught. This is a very fine continued introduction to the Dutch language, a book much needed at this time in our national status! Grady Harp, July 21
