Book Description
Het accent van dit boek ligt op aspecten die in de meeste cursussen Nederlands als tweede taal onvoldoende uitgelegd of zelfs helemaal genegeerd worden. Veelgebruikte woorden uit het dagelijkse leven worden op een vaak humoristische wijze verklaard. De handleiding is in de eerste plaats vanuit het standpunt van Engelstaligen geschreven, maar is ook bruikbaar voor anderstaligen met een goede kennis van het Engels en een vergevorderde kennis van het Nederlands.

Delia loves Double Dutch more than just about anything, and she’s really good at it—so good she and her teammates have a shot at winning the World Double Dutch Championships. Delia would die if she couldn’t jump—but she’s hiding something could keep her off the team next year. Delia’s friend Randy has a secret too, one that has him lonely and scared. And while Delia and Randy struggle to hide parts of themselves, their school is abuzz with rumors about what malicious mischief the terrible Tolliver twins—who just may have a hidden agenda of their own—are planning. Delia and Randy’s secrets collide on what should be the happiest day of Delia’s life, and the collision threatens to destroy their friendship. Why can’t life be as easy for Delia as Double Dutch?

Book Description
Illustrates how black musical styles are incorporated into the earliest games African American girls learn--how, in effect, these games contain the DNA of black music. Drawing on interviews, recordings of handclapping games and cheers, and her own observation and memories of gameplaying, Gaunt argues that black girls' games are connected to long traditions of African and African American musicmaking, and that they teach vital musical and social lessons that are carried into adulthood. - from publisher information.
