Ek is lief vir my juffrou.

I love my teacher.
Sy is ’n goeie juffrou. Sy is vriendelik en geduldig.
Ubukeka kahle. Ufundisa kahle, unomusa nesineke.
Mhle, ufundisa kakuhle, unobuntu aze abe nomonde.
She is beautiful. She is
a good teacher. She is
kind and patient.
Sy het haar hare so mooi gevleg.
Namuhla, uzeluke kahle kakhulu izinwele zakhe.
Namhlanje, uziphothe kakuhle kakhulu iinwele zakhe.

hair very nicely today.
Sy het kleurvolle krale in haar hare gesit.

Ufake namaso anemibala emihle kakhulu.
She has decorated her

beads.
Haar krale is groen, wit, rooi en geel.

As ek eendag groot is gaan ek net soos my juffrou wees.
