When I found out I was pregnant, I was determined to teach my little one Afrikaans, but the more I look at it, the more difficult it looks to me.
I am Afrikaans, and was brought up speaking Afrikaans at home, but went to a bilingual High School where I ended up in an Afrikaans and English mixed class.
When I went to Varsity, I took everything in English as Business language is mainly English in South Africa... and then I met my hubby who is English.
We sometimes speak Afrikaans to each other, but that is mainly when we are at work or in the shops....at home we never speak it, so I am scared that I wont end up teaching my bambino Afrikaans......
Any suggestions?
