Naledi kondig met trots die verskyning aan van ’n multitalige woord- en fraseboek deur die bekroonde outeur Isabel Uys: The Basic English Afrikaans Xhosa Zulu Aid. Dié sakgrootte publikasie bevat woorde en frases in vier van Suid-Afrika se prominentste tale – Engels, Afrikaans, Xhosa en Zoeloe.
Die boek is die ideale gids vir Suid-Afrikaanse burgers, asook toeriste, wat graag effektief wil kommunikeer met landgenote in ons reënboognasie.
Isabel sê: “Wanneer mens met ’n persoon in sy eie taal kommunikeer, verbeter verhoudings oor kultuurgrense heen en word vriendskappe geseël. The Basic English Afrikaans Xhosa Zulu Aid is gemik op mense van alle ouderdomme wat hulleself wil bemagtig met woorde en frases in enige van dié vier tale.”
Hierdie kleinformaatboek pas maklik in ’n skooltas, handsak of selfs in ’n motor se deurkompartement. Om gebruik te vergemaklik, is trefwoorde in dié boek georden volgens gespreksonderwerpe. Wat The Basic uniek maak, is dat ongeveer 500 kleurfoto’s ingesluit is om woorde en frases te illustreer.
The Basic is besonder gebruikersvriendelik en geskik vir volwassenes, leerders, onderwysers en toeriste. Boonop is dit ’n uitstekende opvoedkundige geskenk. Omdat multitaligheid essensieel is in Suid-Afrika, is hierdie boek ’n belangrike toevoeging tot elke huishouding en biblioteek.
Isabel Uys word gerespekteer as een van die leidende figure op die gebied van naslaanwerke, woordeboeke en taalgidse in Suid-Afrika. Sy het in Bellville grootgeword en was vir 14 jaar ’n onderwyser; daarná vir vyf jaar ’n boekkeurder by die voormalige Opvoedkundige Biblioteek. Sy is getroud met Eksteen Uys wat dosent was aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch.
Sy het verskeie naslaanboeke saamgestel, asook taalgidse en multitalige woordeboeke. Haar publikasies verkoop soos soetkoek en haar eerste boek, wat in 1994 verskyn het, is al 15 keer herdruk. Al haar boeke is steeds in druk.
The Basic English Afrikaans Xhosa Zulu Aid is nou beskikbaar by alle goeie boekwinkels, asook op www.kalahari.com.
Naledi is proud to announce the publication of a multilingual word and phrasebook, The Basic English Afrikaans Xhosa Zulu Aid, by prizewinning author Isabel Uys. This beautiful, pocket-sized book contains words and phrases in four major South African languages: English, Afrikaans, Xhosa and Zulu.
This book is an ideal companion for South African citizens who are keen to communicate across cultural barriers in our diverse society.
Isabel says, “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.”
This small format book will easily fit into a schoolbag, handbag or cubbyhole. The words are arranged under subjects for easy reference. A unique feature of The Basic is that approximately 500 colour photos are included to illustrate words and phrases.
