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

[@petermurray2894]

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").

[@sue6626]

Peter Murray Exactly! Thank you so much... I just find it sad that they didn't get a native Afrikaans speaker to give these lessons. She's a wonderful teacher, but her English accent is very strong.

[@petermurray2894]

Sumari Haasbroek, Ongelukkig is dit so dat "eerste indrukke is blywende indrukke". Ek ek vandag n ding verkeerd leer, sal ek dit oor 50 jaar steeds onthou. Maar ek haal my hoed af vir Annemarie. Sy is n goeie onderwysseres. Die vraag is: Wie het haar geleer? Waarom het daardie persoon haar nie reg geleer nie. Luister maar na jong nuuslesers op radio en tv. Of na sepies op tv. Waar is daardie mense se ouers en onderwysers? Waarom is hulle toegelaat om so verkeerd te praat??? Toe ek op skool was, het ons lyfstraf gekry as ons so gepraat het. Kyk maar na dievolgende: Ek = ack. My = maai. Jy = jaai. Hy = haai. Sy = saai. Hulle = halla. Julle = jalla. Huis = haais. Afrikaans = Ôfrikôns. Praat = prôt. Transvaal = Trônsvôl. Kaap = Kôp. * In die jare 1960 sou dié meisies NOOIT 'n werk by die radio en tv gekry het nie. Hoor maar hoe praat Gerhard Pretorius van die tv. In my tyd sou ons 6 houe op die sitvlak met n rottang gekry het as ons soos Gerhard Pretorius gepraat het.

Exactly as I use to learn a new language when traveling. Get a small dictionary, pen and paper and start. Greeting, please, thank you, and 1 to 10, and you're off after the first day. Nowbody needs to learn those travel agency "basic" things as asking for the nearest taxi stand. You just stand in the street with a puzzled face and shout TAXI. Someone will help you. Now at least you can say dankie. Great video

I see a lot of people getting confused in the comment section. Afrikaans is not an African language, it's a language derived from Dutch spoken in the Netherlands because that's where these people came from
