Just a quick question..? If a thread is started in English or Afrikaans, should you not keep it that way? 

 

Now it's not that I've got anything against Afrikaans but I just don't don't understand it. I read some post then half way trough, bang!!!I was reading with interest but now don't know what anyone is saying.

gets difficult sometimes when the enviroment that you are in is afrikaans and you are english you tend to mix the language .

 

sometimes it is better expressed in afrikaans than english. please forgive us just tell the person you dont understand and to post it in english.EmbarrassedEmbarrassed
