Doag Peter,

>  If possible is there a Limburgs / English dictionary or a Dutch /
Limburgs
> English dictionary

As Mathieu already mentioned, such dictionaries hardly exist. The link below
refers to an online Algemeen Limburgs-Dutch dictionary.
http://www.limburghuis.nl/Interact/menu_wdb.html
The problem is that there isn't a standard or general Limburgs, so most
dictionaries (diksjeneers) are limited to one city or village (like
Tongers-Dutch, Mestreechs-Dutch etc) and can be found in local libraries. If
you are interested in a specific place or dialect, let me know. If there is
a dictionary available, i'll be glad to sent you a copy. It doesn't happen
every day that Limburgs is considered a (full) language:)

Haad dich goed,

Jo Thys

Hello All,

I am a new member of this forum. I would like to know of any good programs,
print sources, or websites for becoming more like a native speaker of
Standard Dutch. I am not having trouble composing sentences, but they tend
to come out rather awkward.

Thanks,

Steven Groh
