LOL, I would love to hear your version of "goeie". The guttural G can be difficult if you are not use to it ;)


At least they taught you some decent Afrikaans and not some swear words :)

My wife have some doctor friends in Canada :confused: ... she worked with them here in SA :)

They said that I did have the guttural "G" down pretty good. It is definitely a foreign sound to english speaking people.

Most did try to teach me good speech but one guy had some kind of a slur on the president's name that I found out wasn't good. My spirit told me not to be saying that one...;)

I also used to have fun with the Afrikaans words that sounded like " Buy a duck"..:D..

A lot of the SA docs went out west in Canada - Saskatchewan and Alberta. I worked in Alberta.

I liked Afrikaans - it was fun learning it what little I did learn.

I found the SA doctors fun and respectful of others. We often talked about the many ways to get back to SA. It was a long trip with many stop-overs but we found a new flight that meant no staying over in London or Germany and they would end up in Joburg sooner than ever all in one day.

Durban was my favorite place that they talked about. What part are you in?

We are in Johannesburg.

The humidity in Durban is high and if the temperature goes up to 30 degrees Celsius you are a non functional Zombie :)

We usually go there in April or September/October.

Cape Town is also good if you can get there when the wind is not blowing.
