During the annual Sharing Conference held from 16 to 18 January at Michael Oak Waldorf, Nomamela (our isiXhosa teacher) and I had a taste of working in a language we do not know very well. Not only did the isiXhosa and Afrikaans language teachers have to learn new vocabulary words and sentences in each others’ […]
