I'm watching this being fully able to speak both Afrikaans and English fluently. I'm procrastinating.

I am Zulu and all my work colleagues are Afrikaans in our Pretoria office. I would really like to learn their language. Thanks for these videos.

I just met the love of my life and now I'm learning Afrikaans to better understand her culture and communicate better. Her first language is Afrikaans, then English. Mine is Spanish, then English. Ancestry from Taiwan, parents from Brazil and South Africa. What a beautiful mixed world we live in. Thanks for the videos!

I'm a Filipino who loved to learn Afrikaans language.. 😊

[l.v]

Few days ago I saw an efrikan tekst for the first time in my life and I could read half of it.
Probably because I'm Dutch.
Now I want to learn the rest of the language😂

[anttiantoniodidomenico]

Volgens taalnavorsing is Afrikaans die maklikste taal ter wêreld. Baie dankie vir hierdie video's, ek leer baie. Groete uit Finland!

There are some gold nuggets here. But as a person who is fluent in both Afrikaans and English, there are also quite a few errors in here that are not quite right....I'd be more than happy to help correct them :)

[christopherjohn]

As Afrikaans is a young language and there are not many Afrikaans speakers, we do not have many dialects yet, but it is always better to learn the "standard" form of a language.
I think Annemarie is doing a great job.
Afrikaans is one of the world's 3 youngest languages.
It started in 1652 and graduately develloped till it became an official language of South Africa in 1925.
The first Bibel in Afrikaans appeared in 1933.
We do not have Afrikaans dialects in South Africa, but we have several "regional" languages.
The most important ones are those in Namaqualand (Northern Cape province); Cape Town (Western Cape province); and the latest one is the language young people in Gauteng (especially Pretoria) speak.
They pronounce an "a" as "au", like in "author".
They say:"Ons prôt Ôfrikôns in Trônsvôl" (We speak Afrikaans in Transvaal).
And they say:"Ak blaai in maai haaisie baai die sia" (I stay in my little house at the sea). The correct pronunciation is:"Ek bly in my huisie by die see".
Dutch = Ik.
Standard Afrikaans = Ek.
Cape Afrikaans = Ek (something between "ik" and "ek").
Pretoria Afrikaans = Ak (like in "accent").

The real reason I am even here is do better in school. Afrikaans as a subject has been the bane of my existance for a few years now. I'm not failing any subject this year.

I lived in SA for 4 years and went to high school there where Afrikaans was a compulsory language to learn, and I don't think I EVER heard 'Aangename kennis', so this is new to me. I just used to say 'hoe gaan dit' or 'hoe gaan dit met jou / vandag' etc

[jeanyvesharpley]

All my years of schooling I've done isiZulu, but now that I'm in high school I have to learn Afrikaans which is abit hard
