4.0 out of 5 stars A fun waste, August 4, 2007

MORTEN AASTAD (Oslo Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Afrikaans - Beginning Level [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I wasted my money on this. I am nowhere near being able to talk Afrikaans. But this is due to lazyness, lack of displine and the fact I, here in Norway, have no one around me I can talk Afrikaans to, let alone get a hand in teaching it to me.

I got this because my best friend lives in RSA. He's a white person, but one of the English speaking ones, so he doesn't understand why I bother with this.

I guess I just find the Afrikaaner culture and people fascinating. Everyone mostly go on about the black culture in South Africa, but I think it's the rest that are itneresting, as it is unique to Africa. So I thought I could learn a language not everyone else speaks!

But like I said...

Still, this is a fun way to learn. I really like it. I get it out from time to time and try and get started, but, well, there's distractions and I'm not that good and self tuition.

But, maybe somoene reading this is, so I say, yeah, this IS a good way to help you get started, to learn Afrikaans.

Tot siens!
