Does anyone know a book - preferably with accompanying audio CD or tape - which can be used for studying West Frisan (the kind of Frisian spoken in the Netherlands)?

I had a look at Omniglot's page about Frisian and found an online course
http://www.allezhop.de/frysk/ (among other useful links). More resources here: http://www.lexilogos.com/english/frisian_dictionary.htm Phonology & grammar of modern West Frisian; with phonetic texts and glossary Wikipedia links to a site with podcasts: http://www.volangteers.nl/Index.php?page=10&podcast=1 Hope this helps.

There's always EduFrysk, but it appears to only be in Dutch and Frisian, but it used to be in English. I think you have to pay for it, but it's great, lots of text with audio, and exercises and stuff. :) I see you're already learning Dutch, which is good, since everything good for Frisian is in Dutch, so you should speak it too, or at least be able to read it easily.

This is indeed the best resource for Frisian but you do in fact need to understand Dutch to use it. I would also advise you to get a solid foundation in Dutch before learning Frisian. Edited by JW on 30 December 2010 at 3:54am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There is also an English pilot for eduFrysk now, its in closed beta version now, but will be open in a few months. There is a free part now and a payed one (the pilot is for free off course). If you would like to join the pilot, please send me a private message.
