NT2 Cahier Uitspraak en spelling

Importance of pronunciation

Good pronunciation is very important to be understood in Dutch as a non-native speaker. A different phoneme gives a different meaning. Take, for example, the difference between a tie and a bag. 

Yet this aspect of the Dutch language still sometimes gets caught between a rock and a hard place. Moreover, many teachers are uncertain about their own knowledge of Dutch pronunciation rules. As a result, they sometimes do not dare to give feedback on their students' pronunciation.

Pronunciation and spelling

In this cahier, author Margreet Verboog describes the differences between pronunciation and spelling in Dutch and the stumbling blocks for students. In addition, this booklet offers tools for treating pronunciation in class and giving feedback.

The NT2-Cahier Uitspraak en spelling consists of fifteen chapters with clear explanations of Dutch pronunciation rules. The booklet also contains tools for designing your pronunciation lessons.

Extra material

The cahier comes with a code that gives you access to the accompanying website, where you will find worksheets, review sheets, extra exercises and handy overviews.
