Hear and/or Read Dutch Words, Phrases and Texts

Listen to a few longer texts to hear the language when you start learning Dutch - but listen again later, to study the words and pronunciation of the texts once you're beginning to understand written Dutch. Many students have difficulty with the spoken language at that stage.
As a reading exercise, you can also just look at the Dutch texts and my translations into English.
