Learn how to say it in Afrikaans.

Don't get stuck if you don't know a word.

When learning a new language you need to be brave when talking and willing to get your point across by using what you know.

Thank you for thanking me

Over the last few days I've had quite a few people thanking me for my websites and that they are really helpful in learning Afrikaans and Mandarin. Receiving letters like these really makes my day and motivates me to improve and expand my sites. I've also had an Afrikaans teacher who pointed out a few mistakes in my lessons for which I am also grateful. I welcome any feedback, good or bad, or just a quick hello! Use the comments section below or the feedback forms on my websites. ~ H

With the typhoon coming I have some free time to work on my website(s). Added the new yahoo webplayer as the previous one was suddenly made obsolete. Updated all the Afrikaans lessons by removing the side bars and adding links to the top of the page just below the main banner. Hope you like the new designs, let me know. Peace

In the meanwhile take a look at this...

From the movies Tangled and Avengers...I like to spot things like these.
