Ees is so patriotic and enthusiastic about sharing information about Namibia with the rest of the i think that is why most Namibians love him he is always flying the Namibian flag high

[treyb.]

The internet has created a global community where anyone can share his/her music to a worldwide audience. This will only increase as more African artists are featured in videos such as this one. Props to Easy Languages for not only allowing people to hear how language is spoken 'on the streets' but also bringing cultural awareness to those who otherwise would never know such aspects of a country even exist.

And I've been a fan of Namibia for years. Hopefully I will be able to travel there at some point!

Never had I heard of Namibia before. I didn't even know that the people there could speak English this good. This is so interesting, Thank you for sharing. The best channel to subscribe so far. :)

[ilandsouza]

Wow, I've just met a nice person from Namibia and I got curious about their country... Now, after watching this video, I just fell in love with the culture, namibian english accent and the country itself..😅❤

[clairev]

This channel is so great, and not just for learning languages.. I've haven't found any other channel that can show you what life looks like on the streets around the world in the same way. Just people talking without dramatization. Very cool, very eye opening.

[kauanaguiarofc]

I want to know this place. NAMIBIA must be a great local to live and speak English! I loved ❤

[saartiaipinge]

Yes internet is the best platform that helps local music to be heard/ listened to worldwide. Keep uploading and the interested viewers will have access to the songs.

[adrianocosmodossantos]

[atropa]

What a unique episode. Please do more of such surprises. :)

[robertjalu]

came here after seeing Namibia in the rugby World Cup - I like countries playing rugby - from the republic of Vanuatu - Namibia looks cool now...

[EESLyrics]

I love to get to know new things. Without the internet I would not know EES and his music. That would be bad. Kwaito music is just positive and full of the joys of life. It´s just perfect to make the world a better place. I´m sure a world full of Kwaito music is a world full of dancing people in a very good mood. EES is an idol for everybody and his heart is at the right place. He is simply the best! :-)

[nyimetv]

This is an episode that every Namibian should watch and relate to..Thank you for comingup with such a wonderful idea..I love Namibian music...

Namibia is the Country where as many as three *West Germanic Languages* are spoken. Namely: English (which is the official Language), Afrikaans and German. Afrikaans is closely related to Dutch which, in turn, can be considered - in many respects - as a "Link Language" between German and English. Probably when you are in Namibia you can freely speak a "new Language" by mixing up English words, Afrikaans (or Dutch) words and German words and, even so, local people will understand you all the same and find you "funny" ;-)

[shannenkatokele]

Great show EES! The Namibian artists have good potential, but due to lack of resources they become limited. But this show is a great start to showcase our talents to the rest of the world.

[harrybond]

Simply, the Internet seems the quickest, cheapest and to be honest the easiest way to help it expand globally
