About the Author

Teaching Afrikaans, My Passion!

I’m Henk Fawell, a dedicated teacher with 17 years of experience in the education sector. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of inspiring young minds and shaping the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and innovators. My passion for teaching is contagious, and I’m excited to share that energy with you through my Afrikaans workbooks.


As an ardent lover of poetry, I’ve always believed that language should be beautiful, engaging, and accessible to all. That’s why I’ve created these workbooks – to make Afrikaans learning fun, interactive, and effective for students of all ages.
With my extensive experience as a teacher, I’ve identified the need for high-quality resources that cater to the unique needs of Afrikaans learners. My workbooks are designed to be engaging, comprehensive, and easy to use, making them an invaluable tool for both students and teachers.

My passion for teaching is evident in every aspect of my workbooks. I’ve poured my heart and soul into creating materials that are not only informative but also enjoyable. I believe that when students are engaged and motivated, they’re more likely to absorb knowledge and achieve their full potential.


I’m committed to providing you with the best possible resources to support your Afrikaans learning journey. If you have any questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you and help you achieve your goals in Afrikaans.


Thank you for visiting my website. I look forward to being a part of your learning journey!

“The limits of my language are the limits of my world.”
