"Americans might think the Xenophobe books to be "racist" as they try to sum up entire nations of people stereotypically. But, while it was often off the mark, it did help me to understand some things about my Dutch friend, and facilitated our communication. I've got to go clean the house before he comes to visit. :)" If you are thinking about renting a Vocation or Holiday Houses in Netherlands, I would buy this book to take with you while in Netherlands.

"This guide to the Dutch is the best book I've read about us (yes, I'm Dutch) in many years. None of your clogs and windmills fairy tales, no boring statistics either, but a pretty accurate insight into the Dutch society and the Dutch ways. It's a funny and tongue-in-cheek book, that very often had me laughing out loud and saying things like "Come on, we don't do things like that!", only to realise a few seconds later that we do."

Berlitz Dutch Travel Pack (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Having lived in The Netherlands for a couple of years I found this little phrase book a godsend! It is small enough to carry with you and has everything you need inside from basic expressions to travel, sightseeing, shopping,eating out,accomodation,leisure and health.
You get lots of little hints about the way of life there which can be confusing for a first time visitor and each section in the book is colour coded to make finding things easier when you need them. Dutch can be a difficult language to get your teeth around so the pronunciation section is very helpful, and there are hints throughout in brackets as well.
There is also a small dictionary at the back of the book.
I think this book is useful for both the tourists and people who are going to spend a little more time in the country than a holiday. After all, it saw me through two years there!" A wealth of information about Netherlands, a great book if you are thinking about renting a Holiday Holiday property in Netherlands.

"I bought this book because it was the cheapest one on the shelf and I regreting now spending those meager 15 bucks. The only good thing about it (hence one star) is it's size. (didn't take much space in the baggage) While in amsterdam I couldn't even translate road signs. Anyway, save your money for pimsleur. Most of the dutch speak excellent english, however, they do speak dutch between themselves, and if you don't want to be left out. You would need a more comprehesive study guide." Before renting a Alternative Holiday Property in Netherlands, I would read this book.

"I am a student, who is traveling to belgium and the netherlands this summer, so i thought i would learn some french and dutch basics. the berlitz dutch phrase book is quite helpful for someone who only speaks english fluently and some spanish. it gives pronunciation guides with each word, which is quite helpful considering how difficult each phrase looks upon first glance. Once you learn a bit, you start seeing the similiarities between english and dutch, which help you remember it in the long run. it includes basic expressions/accomodations, eating out, travel, sightseeing, stores & services, health, reference, and dictionary sections. another helpful tool would be to get the accompanying cassette tape, which lets you hear the pronunciations and helps you learn better, although they speak a little fast for the basic beginner." Before renting a Vocation or Holiday Property in Netherlands, I would buy this book to guide you round the local areas in Netherlands.

Learn Dutch Now! 9.0 (Software)

Customer Rating:
Learn Dutch Now! 9.0 comes with two CDs, one of which has various key sections--useful "survival phrases", fun activities, conversations and practising speech against the voice of a native speaker. The other CD has a thorough grammar tutorial. This combination is certainly a valuable one for people who are serious about learning a language, and the product is clear and easy to use: in role-plays, phrases are highlighted in a box and their English translations placed underneath, while the voice recognition software allows you to measure your own voice against that of a native speaker and the games hone the things that have been learned. Sections are tailored to various activities, such as getting around, going out and business situations, while at any point you can call up a grammar tutorial that will explain a topic in more detail.

The section on survival phrases will be of much use to those who have already reached a basic level. There are several practice dialogues based on common situations--in the hotel, the bar, the airport, etc.--with some examples that demonstrate a wicked sense of humour. Although some of the advice borders on the infantile ("When you decide to travel outside the USA, you will probably need a passport"), much of it is useful and rounds out a well-composed package for someone starting out on the road to using the language overseas. --Toby Green
Reviews:

"This package is great to use from the start. (I'm having to learn most folks around where I live don't speak English). It is not a traditional learning package where you start by saying hello and how to buy two beers please, although you can do this. There are, as stated, different learning styles such as video or just sound. The video quality isn't bad but the sound with it could be better (only with video otherwise very good). My only addition to it would be to add a dictionary, so that you can type a word and it will show you the translation and how to say it.
The games are good practice and the voice recognition works well. My wife doesn't get on to well with the computer but she does using this. Her only gripe is that she isn't learning faster than me, yet!!
Try it, not the cheapest but definately good. I'm glad we did." If you are thinking about renting a Vacation Villas in Netherlands, I would buy this book to take with you while in Netherlands.

"Ok so this CD has some neat features, but as far as teaching someone chinese goes it's a faliure. Mandarin isn't built around singular word meanings, like western languages, it's built around phrases. This product shows a fundamental lack of understanding in the language it attempts to teach, by being too idiomatic. It doesn't explain anything, so a user of this product isn't going to really understand how mandarin works which is the first stage towards actually speaking it. It has a crass monkey-see monkey-do approach which may be ok for someone visting china who wants to know a few phrases, but this is no good for a serious learner of the language. It also has many tone errors on words, and many of the phrases are outdated. The one thing you can learn well from it is pronounciation, but there's no reason why this shouldn't be accompanied by a teaching structure and content that actually works." Why not buy this book, and read while on your Alternative Vacation in Netherlands. It would be so usefull when you Rent a Alternative Vacation Property in Netherlands.

Buffaloes Over Singapore: RAF, RAAF, RNZAF and Dutch Brewster Fighters in Action Over Malaya and the East Indies 1941-42 (Book)

Customer Rating:
Reviews:

"Once again Brian Cull has demonstrated his mastery as an aviation historian. While assembling the full factual details he still manages to give the human story. As with his previous works this most detailed record of a forgotten campaign is extremely readable and a must buy for any serious WWII aviation enthusiast." Before renting a Vacation House in Netherlands, I would read this book.

"Once again Brian Cull has delivered the goods, as with his previous books "Hurricanes over Malta"
"Spitfires over Sicily" etc. He has managed to combine historical fact with the human story. In this book we see how the RAF and Commonwealth fighter pilots were literally thrown to the wolves, yet how flying this obsolecent aircraft, gallantly fought to the bitter end.
Mr. Cull is to be commended for both the quality of his research, and of his ability to tell the story in a very readable manner. Definitely a must buy for anyone interested in the far eastern airwar.
Bruce Lander" Relax with this book when on Alternative Holiday in Netherlands. It would be so handy when you Rent a Alternative Holiday House in Netherlands.

"This is another in a series of books written by Brian Culls, Christopher Shores, or another of the latest generation of WWII aviation historians from Grub Street who are begetting comprehensive histories of often little explored WWII aerial arenas. The aerial defense of Singapore has been largely neglected by historians. Often, when one of these writers publishes, there is little left to explore on the topic. Cull's research isn't quite up to that standard in this volume. This is due in part to the fact that his subjects lost the battle and, thus, many of their records. (Ever wonder what the battle history of Japan's 68th Sentai at New Guinea was?) Japanese records don't exactly abound either. Nonetheless, he does an excelent job and I recommend this work mightily to anyone interested in the Pacific air war." Before renting a Vacation Casa in Netherlands, I would read this book.
