Translation Web Pages

Note: Most Translation Web Pages are not perfect, as a lot of Dutch can't be translated literally.. I know this isn't very helpful, and it has also been a frustration of mine trying to learn the language.. though I do have 3 online Dutch friends from Holland, so get yourself a Dutch buddy and they can usually help you with stuff like that..

Free Downloads

P1 VertaalWoordenBoek Free dictionary download, easy to use, and I do use it quite a bit :P Open the page, scroll down, and click "It's Free! Download!" on the lower right hand side of your browser screen. I love it!
Byki.com - Before you know it Byki lite is free and comes in many languages. It's basically like a flash-card system, with voice to help you hear the word pronounced correctly, and you can slow the playback down to hear it clearly if you need to. Byki is awesome, but I haven't the deluxe edition, which you do have to purchase. But Byki LITE is free! :)
