Re: Afrikaans Resources (version 2.0)
It stands to reason that this resource is a repackaging of the free book2 Afrikaans course: http://www.goethe-verlag.com/learn-afrikaans-online.html.

The description of the other Afrikaans CD Course on eBay refers to 18 CDs which, at the price offered, I suspect is a scam. Nevertheless, even though I have absolutely no intention of studying Afrikaans, my curiosity has been aroused to the point where I can no longer resist the temptation. Even though I suspect that this is the Michel Thomas Dutch series masquerading as an Afrikaans course (hey, if you’re going to lie, you might as well tell a big lie), I will place an order for it a report back. https://www.ebay.com/itm/18-CD-Pack-Learn-How-To-Speak-Afrikaans-Language-Full-Audio-Course-MP3-PDF-CD/183078585459?hash=item2aa0558473%3Ag%3A57oAAOSwFEpahx6j&_sacat=0&_nkw=afrikaans+LANGUAGE&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=0
EDITED:
Expansion of the text.

Re: Afrikaans Resources (version 2.0)
As an update to neumanc’s supposition, above, and my subsequent purchase of the other of the two offers on eBay for Afrikaans audio courses which are listed in the resources above, I can confirm that both items are copies of the freely-available “Book2 / 50 Languages” Afrikaans phrase book:
“Learn Afrikaans 100 Lessons Audiobook”
“Learn How To Speak Afrikaans (18 CD Pack)”

Text rewritten

Re: Afrikaans Resources (version 2.0)
A small addendum to the above notes, on Linguaphone:
The old Linguaphone Afrikaans course cited above had 50 lessons, and was similar to the other Linguaphone courses of its generation.
Linguaphone later published a 40-lesson Afrikaans course; I'm assuming that this is the one from 1993 referred to by Jaleel10.

Re: Afrikaans Resources (version 2.0)
@Cellar Door, thank you for dropping by. Your journal will most definitely serve as a guide and a source of motivation for anyone seeking to learner Afrikaans. Enjoy your vacation!
@Jaleel10, thank you very much for your supportive comments. Your report on the Linguaphone Afrikaans course served as an inspiration for this thread.
I have just inserted two lists of miscellaneous resources (online news plus a grab bag) which more advanced students might wish to consider.
Ciao, for now!

Re: Afrikaans Resources (version 2.0)
I have some good news about teach yourself Afrikaans! Although it can be hard to get your hands on the physical media, Teach Yourself has the full audio of the 2012 edition by Lydia McDermott available for free on their website or through their Teach Yourself Library app.
The text is available for Kindle at a very reasonable price (I just bought it for $3.99).
Complete Afrikaans Beginner to Intermediate Book and Audio Course: Learn to read, write, speak and understand a new language with Teach Yourself https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GVFMH4U/re ... uDbGC98ZQN
There are two editions available on Kindle so make sure you get this one by Lydia McDermott to match the free audio from Teach Yourself.
