In this e-book you will (finally) get a handy overview to help you with one of the most tricky aspects of learning Dutch: the complexity of the verbs and the enormous amount of combinations with verbs, especially in informal language.
Verbs that get a completely different meaning by adding a small preposition or prefix 😱.
Combinations of very simple words that suddenly take on a completely new meaning 🤯.
Things like:
- het zien zitten
- het hebben over
- ervan af zijn
- ingaan op
- inzitten met
- inzetten op
- opstellen, uitstellen, instellen, herstellen, voorstellen…
What’s included?
A handy overview per basic verb with the most important combinations and expressions.
For each verb: a definition, a translation in English and multiple real-life examples.
+ handy fill-the-gap exercises to practice, with corrections.
+ online exercises to test yourself
In 🌟Sofie’s signature style🌟: without taboo, with lots of funny examples and expressions, with a good dose of informal language and, above all, REAL LIFE stuff! I promise you that you will be smiling when reading some of the key sentences😉

An essential resource for NT2 learners wanting to sound more idiomatic through specific phrasal verbs. The book covers all most frequent verbs and their combinations with prepositions. I’m at C1 level so I’m an independent speaker in all contexts, yet I still learned a ton with this book.
The fill in the blank sentence exercises are very useful too. Perhaps it’d be nice to have exercises with longer texts or dialogs instead of loose sentences.

I really enjoyed the reading, it’s easy to follow and the examples are really useful. I liked the exercises and I think it covers a lot of verbs that you can use in daily life, in conversations with friends or in a working environment.

Ik vind het een bijzonder boek. Je legt in je boeken alles uit wat ik niet op school heb geleerd en het was erg moeilijk omdat veel mensen de uitdrukkingen en woorden uit je boeken gebruiken. Ze helpen mij om mensen beter te begrijpen en gemakkelijker met hen te kunnen communiceren. Je bent een grote hulp voor iedereen en bedankt voor alles!Erg blij mee.
Groetjes,Marce

Das Buch ist eine absolute Bereicherung um zu erlernen wie in realen informellen Situationen gesprochen wird. Die Beispiele und Übungen sind gut aufgebaut und absolut alltagstauglich. In Standard Kursen lernt man die Inhalte nicht. Ich überlege die gebundenen Bücher auch noch zu kaufen, da ich von den e-books begeistert bin.
