Dutch Alphabet Flashcards

The Dutch Alphabet Flashcards teach you every letter of the Dutch alphabet with high-quality audio, phonetic guides, and Dutch word examples — including the unique vowel combinations (ij, oe, eu, ui, ou) that make Dutch spelling patterns different from any other European language.

Dutch uses the same 26 letters as English, but many are pronounced quite differently. The notoriously difficult g and r sounds, the diphthongs, and the vowel combinations that seem counterintuitive to English eyes — this deck addresses them all systematically.

Language: Dutch  ·  Difficulty: Beginner  ·  Time to Complete: 1–2 weeks

Why Start With the Alphabet

Dutch spelling is relatively phonetic once you know the rules — but those rules are entirely different from English. Learning the alphabet and its combinations first gives you a foundation for decoding new Dutch words when you encounter them in reading, rather than guessing by analogy to English.

This deck is included in the Dutch Pronunciation Bundle, alongside Dutch IPA Flashcards and Dutch Minimal Pairs Flashcards.
