Dutch Accent Learning Materials

  • The Dutch accent materials include recordings of AccentHelp coaches Jim Johnson and Carolyn Johnson guiding you through learning the accent, along with native speakers reading the practice sentences. Jim also leads you through a practice monologue in a Dutch accent, with two Dutch speakers also reading the monologue. 
  • You'll also get 35 different native speakers from the Netherlands, along with a PDF transcript of their conversations so that you can follow along as you listen.
  • You'll get a PDF of the teaching materials, plus three other formats of the same book: a PDF for printing, MOBI for Kindle, and EPUB for other portable devices.
  • This accent is appropriate for productions of Deathtrap and other plays. You also hear it from actors like Rutger Hauer and in films like Prince of Tides and Goldmember.
  • All of the sound files are in MP3 format so that you can play them on your computer, load them onto your phone, or burn them to a CD.
  • You'll receive a link via email so that you can download all of the materials as ZIP files directly to your computer.
  • You'll also get future updates for free! (last updated Oct 2020) 

    5% of all profits from these materials go to diversity scholarships for actors at the University of Houston.
