De Tawl is a 2023 Dutch travel and history book by Philip Dröge about the surprising extent of Dutch language influence on American English, exploring Dutch origins of words like 'OK' and 'dope', and uncovering forgotten Dutch history in America. Dröge travels across America by bike, finding remnants of this linguistic and cultural past in a narrative filled with quirky historical tales, from slavery to comedians.
Why we recommend it?
Daniel's mom recommends it.
She reads more books than most people drink coffee; so if she approves, it’s a winner 😉
