Easy English 30 - Namibian Languages

[@zofilep3612]

Wow this is so awesome... Namibia seems like a cool place, with streets, shops, friendly people. I am so sorry, I my head it was a bit stereotyped and generalized T.T Now I can see I was so wrong. And what an amazing diversity! I loved the video, please more about Namibia!! We need african english/other languages to join the game :)

[@torrawel]

That's because they're big countries. Brazil and even China have the same "problem". In the rest of the world, it's pretty normal. Also here in the tiny countries of Europe. As someone from the Netherlands, I like their use of the word lekker! 🎉🎉. Lekker is een goed woord! 😂

[@soundoftoday10]

I admire the fact that in most of sub-saharian African countries they speak at least 2 languages even in cities. Here in Latin America native languages are spoken just for few people and basically there are no ways to learn them. Yes, most of our Latin American countries have 10, 30, ... even 100 indigenous languages but in most of places it's extremely difficult to find somebody who speaks at least one of those languages and there is a lack of resources to learn them

[@halloanonym]

This is 100% my fave episode of easy languages thus far. So good 😍

[@marikenheigauses9916]

My father grew up in Namibia and my aunt was born in Windhoek . in Namibia have my grandparents and their children (my father and my aunt). languages ​​were Afrikaans and German At home they spoke German and Afrikaans. I love Afrikaans because my father and I speak German and Afrikaans at home Why Afrikaans and English because my grandfather said, in order to have respect you have to use your mother tongue but also use a second language e.g. Afrikaans for the working world in Namibia and South Africa my grandparents spoke Afrikaans and German

Amazing their accent is not that heavy. Naijas have the heaviest accent in the whole world and their pride and confidence is unprecedented.

"matangara" actually refers to tripe. Not intestines.

[@bantuvoicemuchaikinuthia2536]

Matangari....In kenyan kikuyu means.. Tortured clothes..And matangara...In Swahili closely means the same...Like loose stripes..Of disorganized threads...We call tripe...(the food) matumbo... Directly translating as from the stomach

+Barbara Blättler Ouk, seems Australians have a way of shortening words! I use 2 watch Jamie and Nikki youtube videos! always shortening. thanks neh

[@barbarablattler1305]

+Ruth Mutuni You and I and all the other Namibians can be proud of each other and I think our country is an example to the rest of Africa. I think the Americans can come and learn a thing or two from us. At least we have peace and not that terrible racism like they have. What do you think?

[@barbarablattler1305]

+ Saxon Warrior You have to learn to be tolerant, that is number 1! I was born and I grew up in Namibia and now I am a senior citizen. Ok, my mother’s parents came to Namibia after WW1, my grandfather hated to be a soldier. He became a farmer. My father came to Namibia after WW 2. They all came from Germany. I was never raised to hate anybody. The gradual moving away from apartheid started already in the early 1970’s. I was shocked when I came to Cape Town in 1975 to see that there were 2 entrances at the post office. One for black people and one for white people. I was not used to that at all. Our change happened very gradually, and I think that was very good. People could get used to new ways and ideas very gradually. On top of it all most of my countrymen and women are peaceful and not fighters.

[@erwinj9697]

I'm Dutch but same haha. At school we once had Namibian students coming to our school and we were able to communicate speaking Dutch and them Afrikaans and use English if we didn't understand eachother but for the most part it is pretty easy to understand eachother. It did help that my best friend his sister has a South African husband though who I talked with a ton so I had alot of practice 😂. Also interesting to hear them speak in their native language but I forgot which language that was but not all the students spoke it. Some only spoke Afrikaans.

[@barbarablattler1305]

Start teaching your children languages at a very young age. Unfortunately I never learned Nama, because I was already 11 when my parents moved to the farm, and the farmworkers' children spoke Afrikaans to us. They only taught us very nasty swar words. Such a pity.
