Havelaar: Learn Dutch

Read Multatuli as he wrote: in Dutch, line by line, with the English at your side. This is a guided edition of Max Havelaar, the novel of 1860. All twenty chapters, nothing cut. Tap any line for a clear translation and a word-by-word gloss; tap any word for its form and its job in the sentence. Every note on the novel's grammar is anchored to the line it explains. The whole novel is read aloud in Dutch. Follow the voice word by word, or let a chapter play while you listen. When you are ready, say a line back: your reading is scored on your device, and nothing you say leaves it. You don't need any Dutch to begin. The Study tab holds two public-domain courses, each in its own order. Valette's Dutch Conversation-Grammar of 1913 takes you from your first sentence through the whole grammar, lesson by lesson, with its readings, its conversations and its exercises, its Dutch brought up to today's spelling and usage. Books I to III of the Defense Language Institute's Dutch Refresher Course of 1961 follow, with their narratives on life in Holland and sixty unscripted conversations between Dutch speakers, carried by the course's own recordings. Every line of both courses is read aloud in Dutch. - The complete Max Havelaar in Dutch, every line beside a clear English translation - Every word explained: form, meaning, and role in the sentence - The whole novel read aloud, with word-by-word follow-along and continuous playback - Pronunciation practice scored on your device; your voice is never sent anywhere - Valette's Dutch Conversation-Grammar of 1913, all forty-five lessons, in today's Dutch - The DLI Dutch Refresher Course of 1961, Books I to III, its printed text and its own recordings - Notes on grammar, vocabulary, and culture, anchored to the line - A Line-of-the-Day widget for your home screen - Your progress stays on your device, with private iCloud sync across your devices Chapter 1 is free.
