The Union Parliament made an amendment to the Constitution making Afrikaans an official language of the Union. Langenhoven wrote this little book to encourage English-speaking parliamentarians to use and understand Afrikaans. It is written with humour, but it certainly conveys the skills needed in a friendly and useful manner.
For example, the book starts with a chapter To The Learner: "My dear fellow or madam - Moenie hierdie oorslaan nie - don't skip this - as if it were a preface or an introduction. Although not so entitled, it is really the first lesson. Nou ja, luister dan - well then, listen."
The tone of the book is delightful - pure Langenhoven throughout.
