About this book
This grammar arose from the need for a concise presentation of the essentials of the Dutch language which could be used both for independent home study and in groups or c1asses under formal instruction. With the former aim in mind, the explanations have been made as self-explanatory as possible, and a complete key to the exercises has been provided in an appendix. In the interest of simplicity and ease of reference and review, each grammatical topic is discussed as fully as practicable in one place, and an effort has been made to inc1ude only one major grammatical feature in any one chapter. But since asolid foundation can more effectively be achieved through study under trained supervision or with a native speaker of the language, the presentation has also been made adaptable to this type of study. The brief fi11-in exercises in each lesson provide a model for any amount of drill, and the dialogues and readings inc1uded at irregular intervals as weIl as the review selections placed after every few chapters can provide the necessary added practice in supervised instruction. Help should in any case be sought with the pronunciation, the principal stumbling-block in the way of either independent or supervised study.
