Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn spoken Dutch for visiting the bicycle repair shop, known as de fietsenmaker. You will practise describing mechanical issues to the mechanic, asking about repair costs and collection times, and negotiating the purchase of a second-hand bicycle.
Lesson#2
Dutch distinguishes between the outer tyre, de buitenband, and the inner tube, de binnenband. When your tyre is flat, you say 'Mijn band is lek'. To ask if the mechanic can patch it, you say 'Kunt u de band plakken?'. If it cannot be patched, you might say 'Er moet een nieuwe binnenband in', meaning a new inner tube must go in.
Quiz#3
Speaking formally, translate into Dutch: 'Can you patch the tyre?'

Kunt u de band plakken?

Quiz#4
Translate into Dutch: 'My tyre is flat.'

Mijn band is lek

Quiz#5
Translate into Dutch: 'A new inner tube must go in.'

Er moet een nieuwe binnenband in

Lesson#6
If your tyre has simply lost air, you say 'De band is zacht', meaning the tyre is soft. The valve on the tyre is 'het ventiel'. If a wheel is bent or crooked, the Dutch say it has a wobble or buckle: 'Het wiel heeft een slag'. If it is the rear wheel, you say 'Mijn achterwiel heeft een slag'.
