PreZ leert Nederlands

So prezPreZ's Learn Dutch Now software arrived today (thanks thebleederBrian!).

So now I'm listening to strange Dutch being garbled in the background.

The segment in which you record your voice and the computer analyzes it to tell you how close to a native speaker you sound (keep trying, good job, wow)... even I got 'good job' on quite a lot of them, and I *am* a native speaker. The voices on the program have a kind of distinctive pronunciation themselves... it's almost like having a program teaching you English by having an uber snooty BBC presenter from the 50s doing the pronunciation.

He's wanted to since he met me. This software should be a good start for him.
