Reddit reviews Dutch Frequency Dictionary for Learners: Practical Vocabulary - Top 10.000 Dutch Words

Hey there,

To quickly gain conversational fluency, I recommend investing in:

1. An audio course. Personally I like Michel Thomas, but friends of mine use Pimsleur.
   
   
2. A frequency dictionary with phonetic pronunciation. Depending on your preferences, either get one with the 2500 most common Dutch words (with example sentences) or one with 10.000 of the most used Dutch words (without example sentences).
   
   In my opinion, an audio couse and a frequency dictionary are the essential two tools to rapidly gain a base in any language. You won't be able to write an official letter, or speak 100% without error.. but if your goal is fluency for day-to-day activities you're golden.
   
   Hope this helps!
