Rae McRee

English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Zulu Guidebook Rae McRee

The concept of this little book is a language book to the sounds of the language. Also, the phrases chosen to be included, are odd - different from the usual phrases one would find in a language book. The only way this book would have any use is to be sat alongside a native speaker of the languages, and ask them what the word should sound like.

This beautiful book contains words and phrases in four major South African languages: English, Afrikaans, Xhosa, and Zulu. It is aimed at adults and children. Speaking a few words to a person in his own language improves relationships and builds friendships. The book is aimed at people of all ages who wish to learn a few words or phrases in any of these four languages. The words are arranged under 43 subjects for easy reference. More than 500 color photos of the real objects are included to illustrate words and phrases. It is an extremely useful book for tourists and the first five subjects are included especially for South Africans living overseas.
