- ''literature
letteren''

Actually literature is 'literatuur' in dutch
but I cannot spot any other mistakes, so you did well.

- let·te·ren (de ~ (mv.))
1 letterkunde
2 literatuur

De Universiteit van Leiden noemt het in elk geval de "Faculteit der Letteren" :)

- You're right, there are two really; "letteren", as a whole faculty thing, and "literatuurwetenschap" for the real specialized study of literature. Edited it :)
