All free downloads, no strings attached as far as I know, they're a teaser for Van Coke Kartel's recently released Wie's Bang album.

Note for Comic 2: It would be a spoiler to explain why, but Re “The Hoff”: my American mind thinks David Hasselhoff, a horrifying enough thought. But my Capetonian sweetie informs me that in context this mean Steve Hofmeyer, a pretty horrifying local example of mediocre talent trying to make up for it by working a niche market and trying to attach himself to causes, from what I can gather. Really pretty much the polar opposite of Francois here, frontman of the first band to put Afrikaans on the mainstream rock radio (there's a great movie, best rock triumph story no one has ever heard of, too cool to believe if it were fictional http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaqhoQg7zX4 ).

Sal julle 'n ander Reddit-tipe site vir Afrikaanse inhoud gebruik?

Learning Afrikaans

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 11:03:35 -0700

Hi everyone,

Although I was born in Britain, my Dad is South African. My grandparents were both Afrikaners, but my dad forgot how to speak the language and he never spoke it around his own children.

I really want to learn to speak Afrikaans. I feel like its a part of me that is missing.

My grandparents spoke Afrikaans to us when we were children so I know a little. I know enough to understand roughly what people are talking about, but not enough to understand exactly what they're saying.

Can anyone recommend some online resources or have any tips for someone learning Afrikaans?
