Just wanted to say a quick hey to everyone! I am just starting to learn Afrikaans and of course am having fun with some of the pronouciation. I keep looking at it and trying to say it with German sounds...I must break my bad habit =) Anyhow I looked around online for some of the books I saw mentioned here and am looking into getting those along with one that had an audio tape to it. I figure that would would be the next best thing seeing that I dont know anyone else who speaks it.

Anyhow take care!
Totsiens!

Vandaria

Pronounciation is indeed the hard part, isn't it? :-) I don't even try around Afrikaans speakers... It sounds highly amusing when spoken with a New Zealand English accent (Which I try to avoid doing, but it's amusing watching friends try)
