  <default-description>Dutch: An Essential Grammar shows, step by step, how the language is constructed. It presents a lively and accessible description of the language, using a wide variety of relevant examples. Particular attention is paid to areas of difficulty for English-speaking students. With a range of supporting exercises and lavish use of illustration, this is the ideal first grammar for the learner of Dutch.</default-description>
