Baie Dankie Marcel

Before I came to South Africa, I used to speak Dutch and German quite fluently, but had to "forget" them trying to learn Afrikaans. Spent a lot of time in Borne between Hengelo and Almelo in the Twente district.

Twente, hoe leuk! zo je bent ook een tukker ;-)

I grew up in Almelo but that was over 25 years ago, did you work in Borne?
I always like the way Afrikaans sounds because a lot of words sounds dutch or have dutch origin.
Do you know we have an other SA member who lives in Holland now? he's called Dawie here on the forum.
looking forward to see some of your work,
Marcel
