I am South African. I live on a small farm in a valley below the Magaliesberg with nine dogs. I am an artist, specialising in landscapes, cartoons and fantasy art. I am hoping to brush up on my languages with Wikiversity; I started school in England,at a French School, then moved to Germany, then attended boarding school in Holland. From there I came back to South Africa, where I learned Afrikaans. I finished school in Argentina!

However, over the years my knowledge, such as it was, has faded and I am hoping to study these languages again. I can read French but I can't pronounce it, and German grammar always defeated me as a child as I never had any real book-learning of it. I learned to speak it from speaking it without knowing WHY I was saying what I was saying - much as a baby learns its mother-tongue.
