Dutch for travelers! Bas teaches you key words and phrases in Dutch.

Please note: These are just basics for people who would like to know a few words and phrases while traveling. They are broken down into their simplest forms for quick learning. There are some things, like the Dutch "g" that are complex and take longer to learn, so please just take this for what it is - quick traveler lingo! Happy travels!
