Dutch pronunciation is made easier when you consider the fact that the Dutch Alphabet is structured similarly to the English one. That is, it has twenty-six letters and is divided into both vowels and consonants.ne specific example of this type of difference is the fact that the letters âdâ and âbâ are actually pronounced like the letters âtâ and âpâ when they occur at the end of a word. Though this is not technically a rule of pronunciation, it is also interesting to note that a Dutch word cannot end in a double consonant.
