Learn Afrikaans: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

After returning home from Vietnam in January 2024, where I taught English, I was inspired by my experiences to create a resource for those wanting to learn Afrikaans. I was approached by a German farmer who frequently interacted with Afrikaans-speaking farmers and needed to learn the language quickly. This request led me to develop this comprehensive e-book designed with both specific and general learners in mind.
