Cloggie: booklog: An Irishman's difficulties with the Dutch Language
An Irishman's difficulties with the Dutch Language
Cuey Na Gael
138 pages

A very funny account of the difficulties an Irishman from Trinity College, Dublin comes across when he decides to learn Dutch by visiting the Netherlands for a few weeks. He quickly learns not to trust dictionaries and that the spoken language differs a lot from the written language...

Best to be read when one is fluent in Dutch, as otherwise a lot of the humour will be lost.
