I spoke a little Spanish from the age of 3 until I was about 8, then had one beginning semester of Spanish class when I was 12, and another beginning class at 20-something. Although my pronunciation is easily understood, I speak Spanish like a very small child. I started studying Spanish again using Duo a few months ago.

I started learning French at 15 and have had classes on and off since then from time to time. When I took the placement test during a one week course in Paris, she said, "Vous parlez assez bien, mais vous avez une petite problème avec la grammaire." Currently, I am maintaining my Duolingo French tree, and am taking B1/B2 classes at Alliance Française. We're reading Le Collier Rouge in one of my classes.

I recently started learning Dutch about a week ago. Later on this year, I am very fortunate to have a trip to France, Hungary, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands. So, I'd like to do a bit of the Duolingo German tree as well, which is probably crazy as it's very similar to Dutch and it's not necessary to learn either language at all, but I am going to do it anyway.

My native language is English, and I'm not fluent in anything other than English. I get by in Spanish and French, but would like to become more proficient in both. Other languages such as Dutch are just for fun at the moment. I won't even tell you the other languages that I'd like to learn.

I am a beginner and here are the Dutch resources that I have tried so far.

Dutch Audio Lessons - These are a good supplement to Duolingo.

* http://www.lauraspeaksdutch.info/2006/05/ - Laura Speaks Dutch

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlrVhsdZ9tY&list=PLe-dBhMicCP1Eo9JPhuLuh8q6l0HII2ya - Youtube Dutch audio lessons

Dutch Media - The NPO website is nicely organized and it has been easy for me to navigate even as a beginner.

* http://www.npo.nl/radio/radio-1 NPO radio. NPO 1 seems to have the most reliable news programs. The other stations often have instrumental music or the lyrics are sung in English. Mostly, I am just listening to the sound of the language, but can sometimes understand a word or two.

* http://www.npo.nl/live/npo-nieuws. NPO news. I am able to watch the news loop at the top of the page. I have also been able to find other videos on travel or other topics that I'm able to see. However, I'm not able to play all the video content, which is okay as there has been plenty for me to see. I sometimes either get an error that it's not available in my geographic location or it wants me to install cookies.

Dutch Music - Many Dutch singers sing in English, so I've had to search a bit to find those who sing mostly in Dutch. Not everything was to my taste (and these might not be to your taste), but it wasn't too difficult to find music that I liked.

* http://www.last.fm/music/De+Dijk - Last.fm If you put in a Dutch band that you like, then it suggests others that are similar and you can see a sample to see if you like the new band

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbOsVPeDYIY - Youtube video of Blof (stadium pop band started in the 90s). This one is a 42-minute long concert but there are other videos too.

* I've also found youtube videos with lyrics

Amazon- As with other searches, you will get Dutch learning books if you search on Dutch. If you put in Nederlandse, you get a wider variety of items.

* Mijn Leuk Woorden Boek - This is a children's book by Richard Scarry. It has illustrations and the words next to it. I've not yet received the Dutch version, but I do have other versions of it in other languages. It's good for very basic vocabulary.
