Afrikaans

Kookkuns @ Unisa

Content from the QVRP website Kookkuns.com is to be featured in a study guide on Afrikaans literature at the University of South Africa (Unisa).

The study guide will be used for the academic year 2013 – 2018 and 18 000 copies will be reproduced.

To date QVRP has contributed to two new Afrikaans text books for high school learners in 2012 via the Afrikaans website Roekeloos.co.za.

First Afrikaans e-Book

The first foray into the Afrikaans language e-Book market leaves much to be desired.

10 Jaar van Afrikaanse GrappeAfrikaans is a Germanic language spoken in Southern Africa. The language is related to Dutch and in it’s development borrowed from languages such as Malay, Portuguese, French, German and African languages from the south-eastern zone of Bantu languages.

10 Jaar van Afrikaanse Grappe was made available in December 2010 and to date the downloads have yet to show any promise. There is a fair amount of hype around the book so one might expect to see this reflected in sales.

All hope is not lost as the marketing campaigns are rolling out slowly in order to test the effectiveness of each one.

Lucky that the book was backed up by a traditional print copy. A bookseller picked it up the first week and sales are going well.

The book is available from QVRP as a download (PDF) for a discounted $8.

If you are outside South Africa and would like to buy a print copy, please contact Quintus at qvrp.net
