> And the Tweetalige Woordeboek (Bosman).

For us Afrikaans LEARNERS,
Madaleine du Plessis' Tweetalige Aanleerders-woordeboek / Bilingual
Learner's Dictionary
is a GREAT addition to any list. Loads of examples to guide us through
questions of usage, etc. and to provide just plain simple models.

(Having cut my lexicographic teeth on EXCELLENT Soviet Dictionaries
(printed on TERRIBLE paper!), I am now of the strong opinion that no
dictionary without at least TWO sample sentences illustrating each and
every sense of each and every word is worth two grains of salt.)

I second that with a resounding voice and add to it the following:

   - plural forms (at least unpredictable ones)
   - all necessary strong verb forms (and appended paradigms of weak verbs)
   - labeling like "casual", "formal", "literary", "vulgar", etc.

And as far as music goes, the doyenne of Afrikaans music is the artist
called Laurika Rauch. Other artists that I think are original, are Herman
van den berg and Chris Chameleon.

The biggest magazine in Africa, is Die Huisgenoot. (I personally think it's
sensationalist and an insult to intelligenceL)

The hippest Afrikaans magazine is "De Kat".

Would you mind sending me a short synopsis of why you're there and what your
aims are? I might be able to help in some ways.

Alles van die beste,

Tommie
