Engels Nederlands Grappenboek 2 (English Dutch Joke Book 2)

By Jeremy Taylor

Engels Nederlands Grappenboek 2 is a second collection of jokes in both English and Dutch. It is an excellent way for Dutch people to practise their English - and for foreigners who are trying to learn Dutch. Great jokes like:

Een romantische man komt een café binnen met een rode roos. Hij ziet een mooie vrouw zitten en geeft de roos aan haar. "Deze zijn voor jou omdat je zo mooi bent", zei hij dramatisch als hij haar de roos geeft.
"O, dank je wel," reageert ze. "Ik zet hem in een glas water naar mijn bed."
"nee, nee," zegt de romantische man. "Je moet hem tussen je tanden houden."
"Dat is zo," zegt de vrouw. "Tussen mijn tanden, in een glas water, naast mijn bed."

or this classic

Een man kwam een apotheek binnen. "Ik wil graag iets voor mijn hoest," zei hij.
The apotheker gaf hem laxeermiddelen.
"Ik wil deze niet!" klaagde de man. "Ik heb een hoest!"
"Geloof me," zei de apotheker. "Als je deze neemt durf je niet meer te hoesten."

I first learnt German by telling jokes to people in my awful German. But I quickly progressed and now I'm pretty fluent - and know lots of great jokes as well. When you're trying to improve your skills in a foreign language, reading is one of the best ways - and reading jokes is probably the best of all. The best way to use this book is to treat it like a swimming pool on a warm day. Dip in now and again and it's a very pleasant experience. If you stay in too long you won't enjoy it as much.
