I was in South Africa and I bought two Afrikaans books while I was there. Paid an arm and a leg for it but that is another issue.
The one books was a George Weideman boek called Draaijakkals and the other book is called Eilande.
I've really struggled to read both of these books and now I'm wondering if it is the type of books or can it be the language? Is my brain so used to reading in English now that it is struggling to read in Afrikaans?
When I read in English I zip through a book in about two days - these books was bought in April and I'm still trying to finish the one.
What is your thoughts on this?
