Engels Nederlands Grappenboek is an excellent way for Dutch people to practise their English - and for foreigners who are trying to learn Dutch. Great jokes like:
“Ik heb zoveel boeken over roken en drinken gelezen dat ik besloten heb om het niet meer te doen”
“Roken of drinken?”
“Lezen.”
or this classic
“Mam, mag ik een bh nu ik zestien ben?”
“Nee, David.”
I first learnt German by telling jokes to people in my awful German. But I quickly progressed and now I'm pretty fluent - and know lots of great jokes as well. When you're trying to improve your skills in a foreign language, reading is one of the best ways - and reading jokes is probably the best of all. The best way to use this book is to treat it like a swimming pool on a warm day. Dip in now and again and it's a very pleasant experience. If you stay in too long you won't enjoy it as much.
