| I purchased this set of CDs to prepare for a trip to Amsterdam. The instructor spoke slowly and cleary, and repeated words often enough to help them "stick." In one of the first lessons, you learn how to say "Do you speak English?" in Dutch. This is the most useful phrase you can learn as a traveler because in most Dutch-speaking countries, almost everyone speaks English. I barely got to practice my Dutch at all when I got to Amersterdam. Unless you need to master the Dutch language for some particular reason, these CDs are perfect for average traveler's needs. |
