   Ga jij nou daar zitten en dan zal ik zien dat de koffie weer binnen komt en dan kunnen we meteen aan de gang gaan.

   Go and sit over there and then I'll see that the coffee is brought in again, and then we can start immediately.

I. Dialog for Listening

DLI Dutch Refresher Course (1961), Book II, Lesson 1. Het Ontbijt

This is a spontaneous conversation between educated and imaginative Dutch speakers. No scripts were used in recording. The result is natural spoken Dutch.

All the dialogs entitled Dialog for Listening have been reproduced in your text in such a way as to capture their spontaneity. This includes hesitation sounds, repetitions, omitted words and other features that are characteristic of unrehearsed, non-selfconscious, conversational-style speech.

The Dialog for Listening section is for oral comprehension. The student should follow this section in his text, as he listens to it on tape, until such time as he can dispense with the text and understand everything from the tape alone.

   Oh, ik zou graag koffie hebben.

   Oh, I'd like to have coffee.

2. 9
   Nou heb je nog niet van onze kaas geprobeerd. Dat moet je toch ook even doen.

   Well, you haven't tasted our cheese yet. That you should do, too.

3. 10
   Gaat U hierna direct naar het kantoor?

   Do you leave for the office right now?

4. 11
   Ja, gewoonlijk wel. Ik ben vandaag een klein beetje vroeger, maar meestal is het een heel snel ontbijt wat ik neem zodat ik net nog precies op tijd klaar ben om eh, op weg naar kantoor te gaan.

   Yes, usually; I'm a little early this morning, but most of the time I have a quick breakfast, so that I'm through just in time to be on my way to the office.

5. 12
   Juist. Nou dan ga ik dan maar vandaag de stad wat bezoeken. Ik ben hier lange tijd niet geweest. Fijn, nou, ik hoop dat je een goede dag hebt vandaag op het werk.

   Well. Today I'll just go and visit the city. I haven't been here in a long time. Fine. Well, well . . . I hope that you . . . you have a good day at the office today.

6. 13
   Ja. Het beste met jou, Jan.

   Well, the oral test wasn't too bad, but the written test this morning was terrible.

3. 18
   Oh, had je het mondeling en schriftelijk tegelijkertijd?

   Oh, did you have your oral and written tests at the same time?

4. 40
   Wat vind jij het beste systeem?

   What do you think is the best system?

5. 41
   Het mondeling is natuurlijk wel goed. Ik bedoel, eh . . . verdoe je je schriftelijk een beetje, dan kan je meestal 't mondeling wel ophalen.

   The oral test, of course, is pretty good. I mean, eh . . . if you don't do too well on your written test, then you can raise your average with the oral, most of the time.

Een Onverwachte Ontmoeting

1. 42
   Ja, dat is lang geleden, dat ik je gezien heb.

   Well, it's a long time since I saw you last.

2. 43
   Ja zeg, hoe heb je het gemaakt de laatste tijd?

   Yes, that's true; how have you been lately?

3. 44
   Och goed, dank je. Maar waar ben jij geweest? We hebben je al zolang niet gezien!

   Very well, thanks. But how are you? We haven't seen you for such a long time!

4. 45
   Dat komt uit, ik ben in 't buitenland geweest voor drie maanden.

   Yes, that's right, I have been abroad for three months.

3. 65
   Eh, ik lust alles, maar een klein beetje ervan.

De Weg Vragen

1. 72
   Pardon, mijnheer, ik ben hier vreemd in de stad. Zoudt U mij kunnen zeggen hoe ik bij het postkantoor kan komen?

   Pardon me, sir, I am a stranger here in the city. Could you tell me how to get to the post office?

2. 73
   Ja zeker, mijnheer, met genoegen. Eh, U gaat hier rechtdoor tot aan de brug die U daar in de verte ziet.

   Yes, certainly, sir, with pleasure. You go, eh, straight here up to the bridge which you see there in the distance.

3. 74
   Juist.

   Right.

4. 75
   En dan moet U rechts afslaan. U kunt of vóór de brug rechts afslaan of achter de brug rechts afslaan. U loopt langs het kanaal. En dan bij de volgende brug gaat U links af, daar de straat in.

   And then you turn right. You can turn right either before the bridge or after the bridge; you walk along the canal and then, at the next bridge, you turn left into the street.

5. 76
   Is dat daar waar het fruitstalletje staat met die eh, bloemen erom heen?

   Is that where the fruitstand is, with the flowers all around?

6. 77

   Oh, that I wouldn't dare say. The hours of service are posted outside the post office.

6. 84
   Oh, juist. Dan kan ik er toch even langs lopen en gelijk de tijden kijken. Nu, dank U wel, mijnheer.

   Oh, yes. Then I can walk past and, at the same time, look at the hours. Well, thank you, sir.

   I haven't done it in ages.

7. 99
   Oh, god, die namen die kan ik me nooit herinneren.

   Oh, Lord, those names, I've never been able to remember them.

1. 100
   Ja, dat, ik vind het wel een goed idee, want zulke dingen maak je zelf toch niet klaar. Het is veel te omslachtig, vooral voor 2 personen.

   Yes, I think it quite a good idea, because you never fix such things yourself. It's too complicated, especially for only two people.

2. 101
   Nee, je krijgt de kruiden nooit bij mekaar.

   No, you can never gather all the spices.

3. 102
   Weet je wat ik er wel wou bij wil hebben, dat moeten we apart bestellen - kroepoek - dat vind ik wel ontzettend lekker.

   Dat is eigenlijk fijn gestampte garnalen

   It is actually crushed shrimp.

5. 104
   Hoeft niet garnaal te zijn. Er zijn verschillende soorten.

   It doesn't have to be shrimp. There are different kinds.

   They make “kroepoek” out of fish and something else.

1. 107
   O, dat wist ik niet. En natuurlijk een lekker potje bier erbij.

   Oh, I didn't know that. And, of course, beer to go with it.

2. 108
   Bier erbij, ja natuurlijk en dan ananas met slagroom toe. Vind je dat geen goed idee?

   Beer with it, sure, and afterwards pineapple with whipped cream. Don't you think that's a good idea?

3. 109
   Dat zullen we dan doen.

   We shall do that then.

4. 110
   Goed, dat zullen we doen.

   O.K., let's do it.

Substitution Drills

DLI Dutch Refresher Course (1961), Book II, Lesson 6. Substitution Drill 1.

Listen to and repeat the first sentence of the drill on tape. Your voice will be followed by a low voice on tape to correct any mistakes in your utterance. You will now immediately hear a word or phrase that you are to substitute into the original sentence. Without hesitating, say the entire sentence again, this time with the new element in place of an element in the original sentence. You will again be corrected. Then you will hear, as before, another element for substitution. Again you will repeat the entire sentence, dropping the old element and substituting the new element in its place.

They are based on the previous five dialogs. Their purpose is to give you fluency in controlling sentences of the dialogs with additional variations provided by the substitution elements. You will observe that the basic structure of the dialog sentences does not change in these drills.

Substitution Drills

DLI Dutch Refresher Course (1961), Book II, Lesson 6. Substitution Drill 4.

Listen to and repeat the first sentence of the drill on tape. Your voice will be followed by a low voice on tape to correct any mistakes in your utterance. You will now immediately hear a word or phrase that you are to substitute into the original sentence. Without hesitating, say the entire sentence again, this time with the new element in place of an element in the original sentence. You will again be corrected. Then you will hear, as before, another element for substitution. Again you will repeat the entire sentence, dropping the old element and substituting the new element in its place.

They are based on the previous five dialogs. Their purpose is to give you fluency in controlling sentences of the dialogs with additional variations provided by the substitution elements. You will observe that the basic structure of the dialog sentences does not change in these drills.
