"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."
