Tiens! L'internet pourrait t'aider à aussi, tu sais? Just listen to France Inter
at a regular base and you will get a hang of it chop-chop!
www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/france-inter01/direct/ Daar praat die mense mos nie so
blêrrie vinnig nie. Good luck with learning French!

Your surname is now typically Dutch. Are you Dutch or Afrikaans?

>Its getting warmer in South
>Africa you will definately feel it.

I nogal got the impression that it had been too hot for the time of the year. My
uncle mos told me that there had been no rain, and no cold yet. So now it's
getting woramer, hey? I'm glad. Our summer has been wonderful up 'til now. And
when I leave Holland the weather will be colder and rainy, so I wouldn't mind a
continuation of my European summer.

>Well, geniet SA en lekker kuier hier by ons

Ek sal, beslis! Ek's mal oor jou land. Ek sien uit na die mooi Karoo met sy
surrealistiese vlaktes, droogte, stilte, diere, plante, mense, kos, idees en
afstande. My gasheer daar het vir my gesê dat die Karoo die landstreek is waaroor
die meeste gesing word. Dink net aan liedjies van Steve Hofmeyr, Coenie de
Villiers en Theuns Jordaan. Die Karoo is seker baie mooi, nè?

Groetnis,

Marcel.
