Execellent learing aid and great fun.
You need a structured training course too, but it's an excellent addition and great fun.

good for beginners
dutch is a very hard language to learn and i found this helped me with the pronounciation, it is very basic and ideal for the complete beginner.

Does this really teach Dutch?
The answer to the question is no. The CD rom is simply a talking dictionary of a limited number of objects, although they are quite useful such as shopping and numbers. It does not even tell you how to speak or write a sentance or even put one together. So if you did go the the Netherlands you would only be able to say single words, mainly nouns such as cucumber or trousers, and probably not understand a lot of Dutch.
You can benefit from the CD rom by listening to the speakers saying the names of objects and you copying. But it's really not worth it. Some of the games are quite fun but they just test vocabulary.
A cassette and book are far better because they will contain more than what this CD includes. I recommend Dutch In Three Months (by Hugo) of the brand new updated Teach Yourself Dutch (the new one has a picture of a tulip field on the front, it came out on 1st Jan. 2003). With these you will actually be able to string a sentance together and learn a whole lot more and they cost about the same.

Good for the basics
I found that this software is very simplistic. It tends to emphasize simple vocabulary by repetition and games. While it does teach some phrases it does not touch upon grammar, sentance structure, etc. It does provide a good springboard into the Dutch language but it may leave you wanting more detail. On the plus side it is very user friendly and you will have no trouble getting started.

this is a brilliant cd rom
This CD rom is very good. I planned on buying it for myself, because I am quite good at speaking dutch, but I needed some more help. In the end, my two daughters were on it all of the time because it is mainly for beginners. But I have been on it a bit, and from what I have seen, it is very good for younger people, who are beginners
