Intermediate Dutch is designed for learners who have achieved a basic proficiency and wish to refine their knowledge of grammatical structures. This second edition offers new and revised exercises, sections on spelling and punctuation, and useful insight into differences in Flemish varieties of Dutch which may confuse learners.

This Grammar, along with its companion volume Basic Dutch, provides clear and concise summaries of the essential points of Dutch grammar as well as opportunities to practice using the structures of the language. Building on the lessons of Basic Dutch, each of the 24 units presents a grammatical topic with an introduction and overview, followed by contextualized exercises to reinforce learning.

Features include:

· clear accessible format

· many useful language examples

· abundant exercises with full answer key

· frequent references to English grammar

· appendices on pronunciation, spelling, and strong verbs

· index of grammatical keywords

· glossary of words used in the exercises

Suitable for independent learners and students on taught courses, Intermediate Dutch, together with its sister volume Basic Dutch, forms a structured course in the essentials of Dutch grammar.
