This a question for the Afrikaans speakers/readers on here. Last year I decided that I want to learn the language better, simply because I like it. Especially today, pretty much anyone I would meet in Namibia or South Africa who speaks Afrikaans will also speak English. But it's not about need, it's about my aesthetic love for the language. I've been told that I picked up the pronunciation fairly well from living in Welkom for several months in the mid 90s. I've been using the Mondly app, which covers the basic vocabulary from a tourist point of view.
I would like to try reading simple, short books in Afrikaans, knowing that I would rely on lots of help from Google translate as I work through it. Something with hunting or outdoor stories would be best to help keep me motivated, but also they would have the vocabulary that I'm most interested in. I'm guessing something a kid aged 7-12 would be good.
I can see search results for hunting books in Afrikaans but I can't tell from a book description if the language would be at the simpler end of the range. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the Afrikaans speakers on here. Baie dankie.
