'n Vriend hier in die VSA wil graag Afrikaans leer, weet iemand dalk waar ek 'n handleiding of kasette vir beginners in Afrikaans kan bekom? Is daar dalk 'n Website? Ena van Zyl

Is daar dalk 'n Website? > > Ena van Zyl Look at the following web sites: (1) Schoenhof's Foreign Bookstore in Cambridge, MA http://www.schoenhofs.com Click under languages and choose Afrikaans. Telephone number is (617) 547-8855 (2) http://www.studyonline.com The course is free of charge, but it uses language flash cards based upon a Java applet. Also possibly http://pathfinder.com/@@ctDRVgQAMGt3euLI/travel/language/ In a post a while ago Andrew Harwood of Ottawa recommended some of the following books that you will find on the Schoenhof's list: Groenewald, P. "Learn to speak Afrikaans" Publisher Shuter & Shooter Price $8.95 The author begins by using words that are the same in both English and Afrikaans. "Teach yourself Afrikaans" (National Textbook Company) Price $16.95. Teaches the language as it is used in day to day situations. Holloway G. "Painless Afrikaans" Publisher Juta Price: $ 13.95 Tapes: Language 30 Afrikaans (Audio-Forum) tapes Publisher Audio-Forum Price $21.95 Conversaphone Afrikaans Language Course in one cassette. Publisher: Conversaphone Price $9.98 Dictionaries: There are a number of Dictionaries listed on Schoenhof's page. We are using "Tweetalige Skool-Woordeboek" by Bosman, Van der Merwe and Barnes Publisher: Nasou. I think this is the one listed with price $ 29.95 on Schoenhofs. We find this quite adequate. This is a shortened version of the larger "Tweetalige Woordeboek" by the same authors, and is produced for use in secondary schools. Gloudina Bouwer
