Voertaal : English - Ronald Van de Krol
the sticky world of Dunglish and how to avoid it
KORTE INHOUD
For better or worse, Dutch is rapidly being supplanted in the workplace by English. Indeed, all Dutch professionals worth their salt, be they managers, academics, accountants or lawyers, increasingly find that their voertaal, or working language, has become English. It is for them, and all other Dutch readers interested in English, that this book has been written.
Voertaal: English is a collection of lively and informative columns about English aimed specifically at native Dutch speakers. Written by an American journalist of Dutch descent, these columns cover everything from the language of CVs to the grammatical challenge of the dangling participle. Along the way readers learn how to pronounce key words in presentations, how to get foreigners to say their names properly, and how to respond when an American dares make a disparaging reference to a "Dutch treat".
