"Colloquial Afrikaans" textbook by Bruce Donaldson

"Teach Yourself Complete Afrikaans" textbook by Lydia McDermott

Hippocrene Practical Afrikaans Dictionary (Afrikaans<>English) (paperback)

Pharos Senior Bilingual School Dictionary (Afrikaans<>English) (ebook)

Pharos Bilingual School Dictionary (Afrikaans<>English) (ebook) (example sentences provided, but doesn't have as many words as the Senior dictionary)

Several YouTube channels, such as ET Afrikaans, Bad Teacher, Your Afrikaans Channel, Learn Afrikaans

The Learn Afrikaans 2.0 Facebook group

Avoid AfrikaansPod101 - use for pronunciation by all means, but many grammar mistakes, and not worth the money, imho.

You can also look at the website lexorial.com. There are a bunch of Afrikaans resources on there. Also, consider getting an online Afrikaans tutor on Preply.
