In Dutch, you regularly encounter expressions: your colleagues "get started," people ask if you've "mastered" Dutch, and your teacher wants to know if you can "get by" with his instructions. For non-native speakers, these expressions can often be complex. Understanding these expressions is not only useful but also enriches your language experience.
Hit the nail on the head
This book contains over one hundred frequently used expressions that appear frequently in everyday language and the media. The expressions are presented clearly within a context and supplemented with various exercises. These exercises help deepen understanding and teach you how to use the expressions actively. In this revised edition, all outdated media content has been updated to ensure timelessness and relevance, and the accompanying exercises have also been refreshed.
Target audience
This book is ideal for non-native speakers who already have a good command of Dutch and are looking to develop a more natural and varied language use. It's suitable for both independent study and group lessons. This includes learners from levels B1 to C2 (NT2) in educational or professional settings.
