I’m very excited today. My post about celebrating our 10 year anniversary in Perth has just been published in the on-line edition of a South African magazine after I translated it into Afrikaans. This is the link:

Wow! Congradulations Christina.
10 years in this great southern land was a great read. What courage you and your family have to pack up and leave ones country and move to another country without knowing anyone.

Congratulations on your your article in Sarie. Wonderful that you survived the change and are fully “ingeburger” in Perth.

Thank you. I’m sure that the people we have met and friends we have made have helped us to settle. “Ingeburger” is so ‘n lekker woord!

Beslis. Niks so lekker soos Afrikaans. Sometimes when I start talking to my boarder I catch myself starting in Afrikaans. When I am with my son we sometimes just communicate in English.

Something similar sometimes happens to me at work – I’ll be talking away in English and notice that I’ve thrown in an Afrikaans word without realising! I’ll quickly correct myself and nobody’s ever asked me about the “nonsensical” sounds I’ve uttered. It’s so funny, but it’s just second nature.

Ek hoop hulle het jou betaal!! 😉
We’ve been in Ireland for almost 15 years and can understand the difficulties of moving to another country. At least you have better weather than what we have here!! 😀

I’m very grateful for the sunny weather here. I would really struggle in Ireland although I believe it’s beautiful.

Baie dankie. Dis ‘n wye oop land met baie ooreenkomste met Suidelike Afrika en tog ook baie verskille, maar daar is elke dag iets mooi om te sien en waardeer en dis goed vir die siel.
