1/5 stars

Full of significant erros-do NOT buy this book! (4/4 people found this helpful)

I bought this book and thought it would be quite good. However, there are literally dozens of typo's, primarily resulting from adding an "R" in the pronunciation of dutch words that does not belong there. For example, page 102 "tafels" is pronounced "taa-feRls", jongens is pronounced "yong-eRs", p 103 katten (cats) pronounced "Ka-teRn", and of course there should not be an R in any of these cases. I counted forty errors so far, and just started. Amazing that a book could go to print without proof-reading. Even the basic "de" is shown as pronounced as "deR". Very very disappointed.
