How to learn Dutch fast and easy
Use the following method to attain new Dutch vocabulary. Read the stories and re-read them until you know almost all the words. This is a fast process because there's no lookup time. Then focus on the remaining words that you still don't know by marking those in the text, for example. Because of the literal interlinear text this is the fastest method to learn to read Dutch.
When finished with this book, find our other HypLern interlinear books in Dutch, French, Italian, German, Spanish or many other languages! The HypLern method entails that you re-read the text until you know the high frequency words just by reading, and then mark and learn the low frequency words in your reader or practice them on hyplern.com.
Interlinear word-for-word literal (plus idiomatic where necessary) translation is the key to reading a foreign language from day one.
I started creating literal plus idiomatic translations with HypLern in 2006 for Spanish and Russian to allow students to start reading in a foreign language with a beginner's vocabulary. In 2020 there are over 80 books allowing you to read and learn in more than 20 languages and literal plus idiomatic word-for-word translations to English, Danish, Dutch, Spanish and Mandarin. Check out my site at hyplern.com !!!
Those translations are available in an interlinear format here on Google Play Books as pdfs. If you would like an epub instead, contact us using the information in the book. The hyplern.com website offers both interlinear and pop-up formats for beginning to advanced readers of a foreign language and includes vocabulary practice tools.
The result is that students learn new vocabulary much faster because they get more and more complex vocabulary from the start and with the meanings in context immediately available. Especially if reinforced with revisiting the low frequency words a bit more often, this combination has you reading a foreign language independently in no time.
HypLern's goal is to create interlinear books with a word-for-word literal plus idiomatic translation for as many languages as possible. Find the paperback edition on Amazon!
