The text keeps what they said as they said it: hesitations, repeated words, words left out. Listen first with the text, then without it. The aim is to follow the whole conversation by ear. **1** Heb je die nieuwe DAF auto's al gezien? Have you seen the new DAF cars yet? **2** Nou, deze laatste vacantie in Nederland heb ik er vrij veel zien rondrijden. Zo'n beetje, zo'n kleine soort auto met een eigenaardige vormgeving. Well, this last vacation in Holland I saw quite a few driving around. Kind of a little, a small kind of car with an odd shape. **3** Ja, ik heb ze wel afgebeeld gezien. Wat is eigenlijk het verschil, eh, tussen de DAF en de andere kleine wagens, zoals een Renault en een Volkswagen, en zo? Yes, I've often seen pictures of them. What is the real difference, eh, between the DAF and the other small cars such as a Renault and a Volkswagen, and so on? **4** Nederland is er dus mee begonnen om zo'n kleine wagen te maken, omdat ze een idee hadden gevonden voor automatische schakeling. The Netherlands started to make a small car like that, then, because they'd come up with an idea for an automatic clutch. **5** Ja, zijn ze zwaarder of lichter in constructie als een Renault of een Volkswagen? Well, are they built heavier or lighter than a Renault or a Volkswagen? **6** Ze zijn iets lichter, voornamelijk omdat het een aluminium motor heeft, geloof ik, en natuurlijk ook, eh, het koppelingssysteem volkomen wegvalt. They're a little lighter, mainly because it has an aluminum engine, I think, and also, of course, the transmission has been omitted completely. **7** Hij ligt miet zo vast op de weg natuurlijk als een zwaardere wagen? Of course, it doesn't hold the road as well as a heavier car? **8** Dat is waar. That's true. **9** Wat zou je me aanraden, veronderstel dat, dat ik zelf een auto zou willen kopen? What would you suggest, supposing that I wanted to buy a car? **10** Wel, voor Uw vrouw zou natuurlijk een automatische koppeling aardig zijn, maar voor U zelf, dan zou ik toch een Renault of een Volkswagen misschien kopen. Well, for your wife an automatic transmission would be nice, but for yourself, I'd perhaps buy a Renault or a Volkswagen. **11** Oh, maar dat zijn twee auto's dan! Oh, but then that would be two cars! **12** Ja, dat zou dan het beste zijn. Yes, that would be best. **13** Nou, ik zal eens uitkijken, zeg. Dank je wel voor je goede raad. Well, I'll look around. Thanks for your good advice. **14** Goed. Dag Shuul. Fine. Bye, Shuul. ``` I. Dialog for Listening DLI Dutch Refresher Course (1961), Book III, Lesson 29. De D.A.F. 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. ``` ## Een Avondje Uit **15** Den Haag is eigenlijk wel een moeilijke stad om een avondje uit te gaan. Ja ik vind er eigenlijk nooit iets, waar ik naartoe kan. Er is eigenlijk zo weinig te doen in Den Haag vind ik. The Hague is really a difficult city to go out in evenings. I can never really find anything that I can go to, there is really so little to do in The Hague, I find. **16** Nou, van alle 3 de grote steden, van Rotterdam, Amsterdam en Den Haag geloof ik, dat Den Haag wel het meeste biedt. Well, of all three of the big cities, of Rotterdam, Amsterdam and The Hague, I believe that The Hague offers the most. **17** Nou ja, het is meer Scheveningen natuurlijk. Well, yes; naturally, it's more Scheveningen. **18** Ja, dat is natuurlijk wel waar. Yes, that's really quite true. **19** Op 't Geverts Deynootplein, daar heb je 't Paleis van de Dans is daar op de hoek en de Kurhausbar en dan heb je de Savoy. En het studentencabaret is daar ook. En natuurlijk Pia Beck. On the Geverts Deynoots Square, there you have . . . then you have the Dance Palace there on the corner and the “Kurhaus” bar, and then you have the Savoy. And the students' night club is there, too. And, of course, Pia Beck [ very popular jazz pianist and vocalist]. **20** Pia Beck, ja. Pia Beck, yes. **21** In de kelder daar. In the cellar there. **22** Vliegende Hollander. Ja dat is natuurlijk wel waar. Het eh, Kurhaus trekt natuurlijk ook altijd met zijn concerten, maar dan moet je wel speciaal van die muziek houden. The Flying Dutchman. That's, of course, where . . . eh, the “Kurhaus”, naturally, is always an attraction, too, with its concerts, but then you have to be especially interested in music. **23** Ben je al eens naar zo'n concert geweest in . . . ? Have you ever been to one of those concerts in eh . . . ? **24** Twee jaar geleden zijn we naar het Kurhaus geweest, naar Nathan Milstein. Two years ago we went to the “Kurhaus”, to Nathan Milstein. **25** Het is wel een druk nachtleven daar op Scheveningen, maar dat is dan ook alles. In Den Haag zelf is niets. There really is a lot of lively night life there at Scheveningen, but then that's about all. In The Hague itself there is nothing. **26** Helemaal niets. Nothing at all. ``` I.

Pardon me, sir, for addressing you, but who is that man, there, with the high red miter and the long beard, with all the children standing around him? **28** Oh, dat is St. Nikolaas. Oh, that's St. Nicholas. **29** St. Nikolaas, wie is dat? St. Nicholas, who's that? **30** St. Nikolaas is eigenlijk een bisschop van Mira, in Klein Azië en die werd veel vereerd in Spanje, en langs die weg is hij hier in Nederland bekend geworden in de Middeleeuwen. St. Nicholas was really a bishop at Mira, in Asia Minor, and was highly venerated in Spain, and, in the Middle Ages, his fame spread to the Netherlands. **31** Is dat met de Spaanse bezetting gekomen? Was that a result of the Spanish occupation? **32** Dat is met de Spaanse bezetting gekomen. Hij was patroon van de scheepvaarders en dus eh, patroon van Amsterdam. That was a result of the Spanish occupation. He was the patron saint of seafarers and, so, eh, the patron saint of Amsterdam. **33** Amsterdam? Amsterdam? **34** Ja, omdat Amsterdam een havenstad was. Toen kwam ook het gebruik langzamerhand om de kinderen van scheepvaarders, die in een soort van kostschool woonden, om die ieder jaar met St. Nikolaas als ze braaf waren geweest, beloning te geven voor hun goede gedrag. Yes, because Amsterdam was a port city. At that time, too, the custom was slowly established of having St. Nicholas give rewards for good behavior every year to the seafarers' children, who lived in a kind of boarding school, if they had been good. **35** Is dat begonnen in de Middeleeuwen zoals U zegt? Did that start in the Middle Ages, as you said? **36** Dit is in de Middeleeuwen begonnen. That began in the Middle Ages. **37** En op welke dag is St. Nikolaas? And when is St. Nicholas' day? **38** Dat is de zesde december. That's the sixth of December. **39** Wie is dat kleine, zwarte mannetje dat altijd bij hem loopt? Who is the little black man who always goes with him? **40** Ja, dat is Zwarte Piet, eh, dat is een latere legende, die er bij gekomen is. Dus toen één keer het begrip hier zich had vast gezet dat St. Nikolaas van Spanje kwam, toen moest ie dus iemand hebben die duidelijk ook van Spanje kwam om hem te begeleiden. Yes, that's Black Pete, and that's another legend, that was added later. Well, then, once the idea had been established here that St. Nicholas came from Spain, then, of course, he had to have someone from Spain to accompany him. **41** Oh! Oh! ``` I.

Pardon me, sir, do you have a light? **43** Zeker, zeker. Certainly, certainly. **44** Hier . . . Juist. Oh, ik zie dat U de sportpagina aan het lezen bent. Is het dat U ook interesse heeft in sport? Here . . . right. Oh, I see that you're reading the sports' page. Are you interested in sports, too? **45** Ja. Ik ben geen, geen deskundige, helemaal niet, maar ik lees het toch iedere dag even door om te zien wat er voor nieuws is. Yes. I'm not a, not an expert, not at all, but I do read through it every day to see what's new. **46** Ja. Ik ben zelf een buitenlander en, eh, ik vind het altijd zo aardig hoe Nederlanders zo helemaal opgaan in voetbal. Waar ik vandaan kom, is het natuurlijk baseball, dus wat jullie in Nederland honkbal noemen. Of, eh, Amerikaans voetbal, dat natuurlijk helemaal anders is. Yes, I'm a foreigner myself and, eh, I find it so interesting that the Dutch lose themselves completely in soccer. Where I come from, it's, of course, baseball, what you call "honkbal" in Holland. Or, uh, American football, which, of course, is something entirely different. **47** Ik heb wel eens gehoord dat het, eh, Europees of Nederlands voetbal in Amerika ook gespeeld wordt, maar dat het daar een andere naam heeft. Is dat zo? I've heard that, uh, European or Dutch football is played in America, too, but that it has a different name there. Is that so? **48** Juist, juist. Het wordt daar soccer genoemd en tegenwoordig begint het er een beetje der in te komen. Vele van de universiteiten zijn er mee begonnen. Right, right. It's called soccer there and right now it's starting to get popular. Many of the universities have started it. **49** Eh . . . begrijp ik het goed dat men daar ook met de handen mag aanvallen? Uh . . . do I understand correctly that you're allowed to use the hands there? **50** Alles is toegelaten. Men mag elkander beet pakken, dat natuurlijk helemaal verboden is, zoals ik begrijp in het Nederlands voetbal. Everything is allowed. You can grab each other, which, of course, is strictly forbidden in Dutch football, as I understand. **51** In het Nederlands voetbal. Oh, ja . . . In Dutch football . . . yes, yes . . . **52** Fijn. Goede reis dan verder ook eh, voor U. Fine. Have a good trip. **53** Dank U wel. Thank you. ``` I. Dialog for Listening DLI Dutch Refresher Course (1961), Book III, Lesson 32.

Tomorrow is the Queen's Birthday again, how time flies, eh? **55** Ja, enorm, nu heb ik gehoord dat ze het plan hebben om de viering van de verjaardag van de Koningin te houden op de dag van Koningin Wilhelmina op 31 augustus. Yes, terrible. Now I've heard that they're planning to hold the birthday celebration of the Queen on the day of Queen Wilhelmina, that is, on the 31st of August. **56** Het lijkt me wel stukken beter. Trouwens we zouden niet het enige land zijn dat het doet want in Engeland doen ze precies hetzelfde. I think it's much better. For that matter, we shouldn't be the only country to do that, because in England they do it exactly the same. **57** Oh, is dat zo? Oh, is that so? **58** En ik denk dat het toch wel beter is als het 31 augustus is. Well, I think that's much better when it's on the 31st of August. **59** Ja, de vraag zal dikwijls zijn bij zulke dingen, wie het initiatief moeten nemen. Yes, with such things, the question often is, who has to take the initiative. **60** Nee, wie het initiatief daartoe zou moeten nemen weet ik niet. Waarschijnlijk de regering. Ja, en natuurlijk ook een voordeel is, het valt op 30 april en dan heb je 1 mei viering en daarna 5 mei viering wat ook daardoor in het niet valt. No, I don't know who has to take the initiative in that case. Probably the government. Yes, and, of course, one advantage is, it falls on April thirtieth and then you have the First of May celebration and, after that, the Fifth of May celebration that, therefore, falls flat. **61** Ja. Dat is waar. Yes. That's true. **62** Want heleboel mensen klagen over de 5 mei viering maar ja . . . Because a lot of people complain about the Fifth of May celebration, but . . . **63** Dat is misschien ook één van de redenen waarom de 5 mei viering zo, men mag wel zeggen, in het water gevallen is. That is, it seems to me, also one of the reasons why the Fifth of May celebration, one could say, is such a flop. **64** Oh, dat is hier altijd in het water gevallen, ik geloof dat ze dat maar 1 jaar gevierd hebben en dat is ook alles geweest. Oh, that's always been a flop, I believe that they only celebrated it once, and that was all, too. **65** Ja, ja. Yes, yes, yes . . . **66** Maar we zullen wel zien wat ervan komt. Yes, but we'll see what'll come of it. ``` I. Dialog for Listening DLI Dutch Refresher Course (1961), Book III, Lesson 33.

Each turn gives a new word or phrase to put in the sentence in place of one of its parts. Say the whole sentence again with the new part in place. The shape of the sentence does not change. Only the one part does. **67** Heb je die nieuwe DAF auto's al gezien? Have you already seen those new DAF cars? **68** Heb je het nieuwe monument al gezien?

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 drill 1, part 2 **74** Heb je die nieuwe DAF auto's al gezien?

The test tape consists of a translation drill containing fifteen sentences taken from the dialogs of the unit. This is a test for comprehension. Have pencil and paper ready. Listen to the sentences and write an English equivalent in the time allotted. The test tape tests only your comprehension of dialog sentences. The English provided in these answers is an equivalent and not a literal translation. Any parallel English sentence would be acceptable. ``` ## Unit 5 test, part 2 **129** Hij ligt niet zo vast op de weg, natuurlijk / als een zwaardere wagen.
