This reminds me of the 4 years of Portuguese grammar I had when I was going for my translator's degree in Antwerp (French-Portuguese-Danish).
Good luck with your translation

Notes to answerer
Asker: I take it you went to the Hogeschool there? I have a friend considering this for Polish-German-Dutch. Did you like it? BTW, thanks for the answer - the main reason I didn't choose it was b/c of "derivated"... this terminological stuff can be so frustrating. Thanks though!

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: Your understanding is correct, but "derivated" and "verbal compound" are not used in theoretical linguistics, and the definite article needs to be "the" in this case.
