Hello my name is Nicole. I call my granny gran. When I sleep over at her house she let's me stay up and watch t.v. She gives me mega ice-cream. I like to watch my gran make chocolate and caramel biscuits.

My Granny

Hello,

my name is Kylie and my granny's name is Jean T. She is the most clever person I've ever seen! She is mostly typing. My other granny is a famous bowler and her name is Audrey W. I love my grannies!

The way of saying grandmother in Afrikaans is Ouma (Ou as in obe, Ma as in Margaret)

The word for "grandmother" in Xhosa is umakhulu - pronounced "ooo maa koo lu"

The Zulu for GrandMom is Gogo, not as in "go for a walk" but as in the "o" in order.
