The Spelling and Pronunciation of Dutch Vowels:
Learn the Rules by Studying and Listening to Examples

The use of single and double vowels and consonants in the spelling and pronunciation of the Dutch vowels: study and listen to the examples and find the rules by yourself - it's mostly systematic and logical - or refresh your understanding of the rules

Studying and listening to the examples you may notice patterns and 'discover' the system, find the rules by yourself. Isn't that much better than being told and having to memorize the rules? I am anti-authoritarian. No need for jargon.
(or read about the rules)
