Did 30 minutes on MT Advanced, upto track 15. I also bought two grammar exercise books, both with French as the language of instruction. I am working through the exercises. The first one was on de/het words, which wasn't very exciting, and then there was an exercise on how to form dimunitives (je). There was also an exercise on plurals, which can be tricky in Dutch.

Overall, I did about 50 minutes of Grammar exercises.

Finished CD 3 of Michel Thomas. Then I did 20 minutes on Dutch verbs, and found a pattern

ijven - even
ijgen - egen
ijden - eden
ijken - eken

Have done three hours over the past few days. I am reading Twilight in Dutch, and making a note of new words.

Those 'ij-'s look like Hollandic Dutch pronunciations to me. I would avoid them and pronounce them 'e-' like in Belgian Dutch.
