<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Sandy: you make
the following remark about the D/E—E/D dictionary.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I remember owning a
Dutch-English English-Dutch dictionary where the<br>
English-Dutch half gave the English pronunciations but the Dutch-English<br>
half didn't give the Dutch pronunciations. Perhaps one of the main<br>
reasons for me skipping Dutch at a time when I was trying to learn as<br>
many languages as possible!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: blue;">After the Dutch
"Golden Age" in the 17<sup>th</sup> century, when many English speaking people
were interested in learning to speak Dutch, the interest gradually waned and
most D/E – E/D dictionaries were made for Dutch people who did want to learn
English. Most of them were printed in the Netherlands, although often written
by a combination of English, American and Dutch authors. In the last 20 years
there has been a renewed interest in the Dutch language on the part of a
younger generation of learners who either have Dutch ancestors or were
interested in what they considered to be the freedom to be who you are in the
Netherlands. Van Dale has recently published a dictionary which is especially
geared to expats. The whole thing is on CD. The Dutch pronunciation is also
given. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p>

There is also a paper Dictionary issued by Routledge in England as well as the US. I have
heard that it is based on one of the Dutch dictionaries, but that the Dutch
pronunciation has been added. The author is N. Osselton.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p>

still interested? Jacqueline</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br style="">
