Re: [DESG] What's the best way to expand Dutch vocabulary?

When I started, I tried to read every Dutch website I could find, and
just I kept trying to figure things out. My own personal total
immersion! LOL And then by looking up words at
http://www.muiswerk.nl/WRDNBOEK/WINDEX.HTM I had to keep on thinking in
Dutch to grasp the meaning... That helped a lot!
