I'm not Dutch (I'm Norwegian), but I read Dutch fairly well.

I have (of course!) enjoyed reading Nina's books "Buddhism in Daily Life"
and "Abhidhamma in Daily Life" in English, but as for Dutch, I happened to
find another book on Abhidhamma in Dutch a couple of years ago. It is Frits
Koster, "Het Web van Wijsheid. Inleiding tot de Abhidhamma". You can find
Dutch translations of many central Pali words and concepts in that book.

I have also written a book on Abhidhamma, "Buddhistisk psykologi. Innføring
i abhidhamma", but this is in Norwegian. So although Dutch and Norwegian
language have lots in common, I suppose this book may be of rather limited
usefulness to you.

Yours,
