I have left South Africa - and now I have suddenly gained more of an appreciation for the Afrikaans language and culture.
Now I wonder how to maintain the language? - I speak often with my wife (Gives some privacy during a phonecall for example!) - I try to speak to the in-laws when we phone them now and then. My Afrikaans was never really that good though, so how can I improve? Watching movies might help, but I can already understand pretty good. (Besides where can I find some good tv series or movies here in the UK? There also don't seem to be many podcasts.) The only way to improve the way I speak is probably ... to speak it more often ;-) Edited by armando on 10 February 2008 at 11:55am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ek het die boek 'Die Klein prinsie gekry' en is besig om dit te lees. (Ek het ook 'dit in engels gekry en eers gelees 'The little Prince', en ook in italiaans 'Il Picolo Principe' - maar ek kan die een nog ne lees nie... miskien in 'n paar maande).
Waneer ek klaar is gaan ek "HARRY POTTER EN DIE TOWENAAR SE STEEN" koop. Ek kan dit op die trein lees en ek is seker dat dit my afrikaans baaie sal verbeter. Dis ook in itliaans besikikbaar 'Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale' (ook as 'n audioboek wat my baaie sal help want dan kan ek luister en saamlees!) Ek is nog opsoek na afrikaanse audioboeke! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Sorry, I thought this was adding to my language log - and not 'Practical Self-Study Questions'!
(The post was just about finding afrikaans trainslations of 'the little prince' & 'harry potter' and reading those to improve language ability, so its not really anything new to this forum... more just for me to keep track of my progress!) 1 person has voted this message useful |
