my dictionary life: learning dutch one word at a time is an illustrated dutch-english dictionary for self-learners and anyone else who is learning dutch and wants to supplement their textbooks with a bit of color and frivolity. 1000+ original drawings and their accompanying words are arranged in twelve categories:
1: food
2: home
3: tools
4: people
5: creativity
6: mathematics
7: recreation
8: city
9: farm
10: earth
11: time
12: sky
the dutch words in the dictionary were reviewed and edited by erwin van wouw and christy de back (both are native dutch speakers and professional dutch translators). erwin also edited the companion dutch-english glossary, which includes the singular and plural forms of the nouns, with all ‘het’ nouns noted.
the table of contents is in dutch to help you test yourself as your learning progresses.
the category headings are in english, while your felt friends provide the dutch translation to help you remember the words until you can recall them on your own.
the english translation of each series name is discreetly noted in the footer.
likewise, the english words for the illustrations are presented in a smaller, light grey font to help you focus on the dutch words.
some words are more practical than others, but i hope that they are all equally fun to learn!
