About Barend B.
Greetings, my name is Barend. Congratulations on learning a new language! If you have a basic understanding of English, I can assist you to speak the language conversationally and eventually, idiomatically. We will work on your vocabulary, sentence construction and tenses. I can also assist with correcting your accent and pronunciation if needed. I will also attempt to explain English humor. Our interaction will be relaxed, informal and friendly, with you talking about various subjects we, both select, while I correct you as required. As I am retired, I have a lot of time on hand, and is therefore available most days from 08:00 to 20:00, South African time. I speak English fluently and idiomatically, while my home language is Afrikaans, which is similar to Dutch, Flemish and German. South Africa has about 13 official Languages, so we are used to communicating with different languages and cultures. I’m from the West Coast of South Africa, Saldanha Bay, in a village called Langebaan.This is a fossil rich area, and one of my hobbies is to scour the beach at low tide, seeing what washed up since last night. Hoping to hear from you soon, have a lovely day!
