Latest reviews of Nederlands app for iPhone and iPad
I actually like this app, and am learning a lot. I would definitely give it more stars, except that it has one glaring problem: there is no index for the grammar lessons, and no way to access them outside of the limited offerings at the end of each lesson. Therefore, you cannot look up anything when you have a question, and thus miss a great opportunity for understanding and learning. It is pretty impossible to find the lesson you want when you want it.
This app is very complete; it gives you the chance to learn Dutch in an easy way through simple texts, conversations etc. You can bring your dutch course everywhere and train yourself whenever you want. Simply : Great ! I hope they will release the second book ( tweede ronde )
