That’s what I’ve said a couple of times to some chess players I’m playing online and on my blog too…! Glad to see more people think that Afrikaans is a very expressive language…and I’ve found when it comes to poetry, you can play around with words more than in English….

Can’t agree with you more on the subject of Afrikaans. I live in Australia and have made the decision to ONLY speak Afrikaans to my kids. My wife is Ozzie. It did feel a bit akward in the beginning especially in public. Now its an absolute pleasure as I have an extra special bond with my kids. I’ve had support from everybody here which helped allot.
