Hello everyone!

I won’t drag the post out too much since most of the info is already in the title, but I would love to hear some suggestions for some children’s books to help me develop comfort with, and vocabulary in Dutch.

In terms of my level with the language, I have been doing some Duolingo for over 3 years, but I really started learning and understanding rules and such a couple months ago when I started online lessons.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: A couple people suggested Annie M.G. Schmidt so I looked at the first book in the Jip en Janneke books, but it seems that its too advanced for my level. I’ll need to work my way up to that slowly. In the meantime, any suggestions for books aimed more towards 2-3 year olds? I feel like that would be more my current vocabulary level, and I can work my way up from there. Thanks

    I tried using the subtitles trick, but it was before I started lessons with a tutor and since Duolingo doesn’t really do a great job of introducing a variety of vocabulary, or teaching the actual grammar rules I found it difficult. As an example, in the 3 years I was doing Duolingo I had no idea that in a sentence with 2 verbs the second verb is always at the end, until I was taught this in my lessons with the tutor. I might give it another shot now that Im learning vocabulary as well as the actual rules of the language
