Instruction

We now show texts without drawings above the words. So they are texts to read. You always see the text. You can also start the video and then immediately stop it to read the text even better. You also see the translation. When you play the video you will hear each word being pronounced very slowly. This may help with reading in the beginning. Repeat reading each text so that you can eventually read the text without the help of the video. In other to see the video full screen you have to click on the symbol at the right hand lower corner.

there is also a bird there

You have now read the first texts. Write down the words you didn't know yet, together with the translation. This way you learn a lot of new words.

the cat is in the dark cage,
the bird sits high in the tree,

and the boy plays with the ball.

If you think the voice is talking too slowly, you can stop the video. Then read the text yourself and if you are not sure whether you are doing it right, check with the help of the video whether you are doing it right. We provide a number of texts again. The more you read, the better you learn Dutch.

I am on top of a mountain,
you stand next to me,
you hold my hand,
how beautiful it is here,
it is a wonderfully beautiful experience.
