I have been waiting for video for long time, from this channel. Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦. I speak 7 fluent South African languages and hear all 11 languages. Hope you visit South Africa with your family, you will feel more at home

In 1652 the Dutch founded Cape Town. What people also don't know the Dutch also founded NEW YORK, in 1624.

Great video. Dutch is also Spoken in the South American country Surname.

Loved it. South Africa is a vibe. If you haven't experienced it, you're missing out. Dieselfde geld vir Holland.

" sware ke boroko" i'm so happy to hear Ghanian-Dutch speaking my language LoL 😂 we sound like Italian 🇮🇹 I don't know In south Africa we have 2 groups of people/languages Nguni(Zulu, Xhosa, Swati, Ndebele) and Sotho(Sotho, Sepedi, Setswana) then we also have Tsonga & Venda so it's very easy for Tsonga to communicate with Nguni group and also Venda is very similar to Sotho that's why it's very easy for us to communicate with our languages then English or Afrikaans if you are speaking with other tribes in English from South Africa it's sounds like you wanna look like educated/Rich

It’s so funny, I think I understood your Dutch, knowing Swedish & German, better than my SA brothers & sister 😆 I find both Dutch & Afrikaans have a lot of words that are the same in Swedish. Great idea for a video!

Probably because a lot of the early European immigrants were also Swiss.

Afrikaans is more spoken in Cape side these guys are from Johannesburg . And these are born frees Afrikaans has no influence in their time , I'm older than them Afrikaans was abolished when I was in standard five which is grade 7 in these days. I understand it but I cannot stand up proudly and say I speak Afrikaans NO i just understand it enough to get away of trouble.

Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands (Holland), Belgium, Suriname (a country in South America) and the Dutch Carribean (ABC Islands, Aruba, Bonnaire and Curacao) and we have the Dutch creole Afrikaans in South African and Namibia. It is not that useless, I mean you were speaking to people in South Africa in Dutch and you come from the Netherlands (Holland). Mind you the Netherlands is also a very good country to live in. One of the best countries in the world.

[@jacksonm.6549]

I'm from SA and I understand Afrikaans (studied the language through my school years). I'm 7 minutes into the video and already understood everything you said. Just the Dutch pronunciations are different. And the way you say "R" is not always correct in Afrikaans.

Which South African languages👀

[@truesouth6532]

@@shisuiuchiha480 there are words like "Lapa" which is sesotho word for "Home" in Afrikaans it means a similar thing but the word is originally Sotho, another word is "fundi" which means an expect, it's a word found in the afrikaans language but the word itself is Zulu /Nguni meaning "educated" and there's many other words.

Well these three are not native Afrikaans speakers, I think they learned it as a third or second language. So they are not going to understand everything in Dutch. Try next time speaking to native black Afrikaans speakers.

[@YouStillNeedToSleep]

[@snowfall8701]

I found it quite funny that Anna knew much more about the history of the Afrikaans language than her South African brothers and sister. Is their ignorance of it part of the colonial mindset of the South African youth or is it just a generational thing because Anna is older than them? Apart from that I thought they all had good vibes 🙂

[@TheSmileycece]

Most likely. You gotta understand they are the first generation to live after the apartheid, some were born towards the end. It's a painful language for many.

[@lethabowhereyouat6814]

They don’t know Afrikaans they were speaking broken afrikaans. So I doubt they’d know the history of the language when they don’t even speak it.

[@pelomk9022]

Why should black South Africans know the history of Afrikaans?

[@TheGoldRose-pz5nc]

It will always be Nigerians (I guess you Nigerian, little chances of you being Ghanian) who want these white people to get over our head and it's disgusting, why should a Black Southern Africans know much about White man's history? Maybe you saying this coz you never experienced what black folks went thru during Apartheid. This is really disgusting honestly, y'all must change. Also, learn more about SA history, these 3 are 'born free' thus they don't know much about it as you say, their parents were forced to know about White people. Y'all can love and learn white people history for all you care and leave Black SA alone.

2:43 Lol that Lasizwe actually corrected you and said "Afrikaans" when you said Dutch speaks volumes of the huge colonisation of the mind that took place. There's no such thing as Afrikaans. There's nothing Africa about their dialect of Dutch. Languages naturally evolve when people leave their native land. That language is and always will be Dutch. This was a lot of fun to watch.

[@dokotelam7207]

Do you speak Dutch?, I watch one of my favorite Dutch KZbinr, " itchy boots " , when she visit SA, she did mention that she can understand Afrikaans however Is little bit different maybe is like Pedi and Tswana, they have same oral history but right now culture and language is bit different, however it really matter? Now you did write in English, is not example of colonization as well?, now you wanna debate which colonization is better? , now we have millions South African who speak Afrikaans as first language and it should be respected

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

@@dokotelam7207 I've read your response three times and can't understand what you're saying. There is no such thing as Afrikaans. The language is Dutch. The people that came with that language are Dutch. Calling that language by a other name is quite silly, like the English colonising Africa and calling their version of English Afriglish. Absolute nonsense. There's nothing like Afriglish and there's nothing like Afrikaans. It's Dutch.

In 1989, there were an estimated 4.6 million white people with European ancestry on the African continent. In 1989 it was less than 5 million, today we have less white people in Africa because the majority prefer to go back to Europe or move to America, Australia.

The Dutch didn’t implement Afrikaans lol They implemented Dutch and then slaves and natives spoke broken Dutch mixed with their native languages. Afrikaans was for brown people, u couldn’t use it in Church , no Bible. The Quran was the first religious book translated into Afrikaans. Then Dutch people adopted it after the English colonized South Africa and banned them from speaking Dutch. Then Anglo Boer war, the Dutch took the Cape Colony back “Die Kaap is weer Hollands” term comes from. The majority of Afrikaans speakers are coloured people. Afrikaans has French, Portuguese, Malaysian-Indonesian, English, Dutch and Khoi languages mixed in. Our sentence construction some we got from the French settlers mostly fleeing religious persecution. Naartjie is an Asian fruit word. Gogga is Khoi. If u look deeper than the oppressive brand it got during apartheid you’ll realize it was the language of the enslave & only connection a lot of us have to our diverse heritage that’s complex.

I think as young Africans, they have a responsibility to know their country history… This is what I love that’s happening in America. Young blacks are choosing to go to predominantly HBCU now instead of white colleges and universities. When they get up to speak, you can be proud, they know their black history… You have to know where you come from to be able to move forward.💕🙏🏽
