    About this ebook

    This beautiful book contains words and phrases in four major South African languages: English, Afrikaans, Xhosa and Zulu. It is aimed at adults and children. Speaking a few words to a person in his own language, improves relationships and builds friendships. The Basic English Afrikaans Xhosa Zulu Aid is aimed at people of all ages who wish to learn a few words or phrases in any of these four languages. The words are arranged under 43 subjects for easy reference. More than 500 colour photos of the real objects are included to illustrate words and phrases. It is an extremely useful book for tourists and the first five subjects are included especially for South Africans living overseas. As the photos are of the real objects, this book is also excellent for the teaching of vocabulary to a toddler.
