Ek is Engels en ek het naar kaapstad in 1947 gaan. Ek was 7 en
my ma en pa ons na 'n Afrikaans skoel vir een jaar. :=(
Now I am trying to brush up my taal with a woordeboek but need a
little help.
I have a list of 100 words which are considered, by language
experts, to be 50% of the usage of any language. In other words,
if you learn the fifty words, they will be the basis of half the
normal everyday words you would use.
However, there are several words in the woordeboek for many of
these words and I wonder if an Afrikaner (Afrikaaner?) could
take a look at the list and make necessary corrections? I
shouldn't think it would take you more than five minutes of your
time as I knew more than half of them anyway.
Also I would like contacts both in Kaapstad, and in the
surrounding winelands, to enquire about things like accomodation
and excursions as a friend (lady by herself) will be going there
soon and I want to prepare some helpful ideas for her. Will be
going myself next November as I am a journalist and intend to
vosit many wine growers for an article on South African wines.
I find this site helpful for brushing up as a lot is slowly
coming back to me.
Totsiens
Andrew Taylor.
