Vocabulary
It occurs to me that many of my posts are jargon-heavy. So if a sentence like “I took a hike in a bakkie with my learners to the combie rink after the braai” makes no sense to you, please check out the new vocabulary page on the right.

To Caitlin (aka America; PCV in Group 32) – great vocab list – it allows us to colorfully see your day-to-day life through your lens as an official Rietoogian! Thank you!!!

Simon says: What is a “shebeen?” (And what do they serve in the local shebeen?)

You sure will talk funny when you get back, Caitlin! Then you will mix medical school terminology with Namibian slang and who knows what you will get. Well, it’s certain you will get some funny looks. But it will be a good conversation starter at parties.
