I was wondering whether there is an FSI Dutch course ever developed. Currently, I live in Belgium and study Dutch.
 
Thanks

I am wondering the same thing as I now live in the Netherlands. If there isn't an FSI course I would appreciate recommendations for a Dutch self-study course which would enable me to develop a good conversational grasp of the language by studying at home. I can devote approximately1-2 hours per day for study. I've noticed that both Rosetta Stone and Linguaphone offer courses but I haven't been able to find independent reviews of their effectiveness.

Asimil also offers a Dutch course.  If you log in to bookfinder.com you can search on keywords such as Dutch and cassette, or Dutch and DVD.  Amazon.com offers warm customer reviews of Rosetta Stone Dutch.  Perhaps amazon.co.uk or amazon.de will review the merchandise also.

The Dutch government offers certification of language ability.  Perhaps a library or school system may know some people's success stories.

Hodder has released a Michel Thomas version of Dutch, led by Els Van Geyte & Cobie Adkins-de Jong.  It's actually pretty good.  Also, there is always the popular Laura Speaks Dutch podcast.
