Highschool grades
This is a website designed to teach Afrikaans to second language learners.
“The resources on the site are extensive. They include numerous sound files, carefully selected links, and discussion groups where Afrikaans speaking volunteers from around the world answer questions and provide comment. The teaching approach is thoroughly conventional and businesslike, and seems most appropriate for high school students. It does not use language laboratory techniques or playful learning.
As would be expected from a course originally intended mostly to prepare missionaries for field work, it is strongly slanted towards speaking the language, correct pronunciation and practical use, but it does contain some literature as well.
“A particularly attractive feature of the site is that the facilities are free.” ~ Leendert van Oostrum, Pestalozzi Trust for homeschool legal defence
The content developer, Dr. Jacques du Plessis, has over 20 years of experience teaching Afrikaans as a foreign language. His expertise in language teaching and technology offers you innovation with technology to facilitate your quest to learn the Afrikaans language.
