  • I speak dutch and i have an afrikaanse friend and i speak dutch to him and he speaks afrikaans back and i understand him perfectly

  • It's quite close to German ;)

    I think maybe nearer to Dutch...

  • Asseblief kry net vir die meisie 'n boere seun om vir haar te leer want dié ma kan nie haar taal praat nie. Dis nie "veer" nie dis vier! (onder andere voute).

  • Maybe you should turn off the TV, it gives a bad image to the language.

  • die blerrie ma kannie eers afrikaans prati

  • Cute :)

  • @dagaalyahaanzz

    How many of the 6 can you speak properly you cocky bitch? I have visited The Netherlands and they think they can speak English well but actually they butcher my language, awful pronounciation, and use incorrect tenses all the time

  • it really wasn't nice of them to wait untill now to teach you

  • @seweerasb Same here but I started learning the language before I moved to england at the age of 3 I was learning it at the same time as english but since I did'nt continue speking it in england I forgot and now I dont know anything  except the numbers to 30 and the ones in this vid

  • @seweerasb My father is from South Africa and my mom is from Peru.

    I grew up speaking Spanish and English. I was never taught Afrikaans. :P

  • @TorturedXeno

    who cares!

  • Haha baie mooi man. Dit is suur lekker om te Sien. It's a shame she can't roll her r's very well but that's okay good first try. And guys try not to bring Dutch into this it's a separate language and Afrikaans is easier to learn. In south Africa we kicked the Dutch out so we are different and separate now. Btw no offence to the Dutch love it. But we parted ways in the colonial days.

  • @dagaalyahaanzz Funny that you think Afrikaans sounds like Dutch from the middle ages - we think the exact same of Dutch. Dutch has too many letters and sounds, and you would think that a language would become more efficient over time rather than less efficient.

  • @dagaalyahaanzz My father is dutch and I see ther resemblance between the two, but Afrikaans is very different as a lot of native African languages influenced the language. And it is the second most spoken language is South Africa. Dutch people may not talk like that anymore - South Africans do. So your facts are a bit dusted btw.

  • Nicole, this is so funny, but great. It sounds hot when a american try and speak afrikaans. I will teach you to speak like a real boertjie.

  • @dagaalyahaanzz you are kinda wrong though.. there are alot of people in South Africa who speaks Afrikaans not only to speak it, but as a home language, like myself. it's definately used in alot of places too because South Africans do travel, so yeah..

  • Hope she enjoyed her trip here. And she's really not bad....just has to hit the vowels a bit more solidly...and the famous rolling 'R'

  • You're good. But the R is rolled : /

  • that looks like dutch!

  • Wil jy n boere man ontmoet

  • baie goed

    

  • lol yup my fiance and I are visiting and moving to SA one day he is from there and speaks fluently. I'm learning, and so is my daughter.

  • She sounds so stupid

  • I have an Afrikaans coworker. ;) Nice try, btw. You've done it very well. =)

  • Well done! Some people who stay here cant even say that mucg :P

  • Awesome... So nice to see the Western world take on Afrikaans... whether your folks are from here or not! You've done well almost a year ago... Would love to hear what you can do now

  • that's awesome! i'm learning afrikaans as well :)

  • @brinet1010 I'll have you know that my knowledge of Afrikaans stood me in very good stead indeed when I married and went to live in Europe. I was able to understand Dutch and picked up Norwegian and German very quickly. Through these languages again I am very well able to communicate with Swedes and Danes.

    "...your forefathers forgely invented that language bcos of their evil racism" You must be uneducated at the very least.

    "...which is hunting them down now" Indeed - 3 500 murdered since 94

  • Baie mooi - jy doen baie goed. Daar is verskeie redes hoekom Afrikaans-sprekende ouers nie hul taal nie van die begin af met hul kinders praat nie. Ek het byvoorbeeld nie kans gesien om Afrikaans met my kinders te praat terwyl ek self gesukkel het om Noorweegs te leer praat in Noorweë nie. Maar ek is bly om te sê dat my dogter tog die klanke "ingekry" op vakansies in SA. Sy het toe ook die voorreg gehad het om op Stellenbosch te studeer en daar het sy Afrikaans baie vinnig opgetel.

  • goeie morgen

  • where are the rolled r's?

  • @CarlVonNirgendwo True, I expected a rolled r in "goeie môre" (good morning) and "drie" (three). I am not a native speaker of Afrikaans but in other example vids the r in these words are rolled very clearly to stress that the Afrikaans r does differ from the English r.

  • Very impressive! Well done.

  • PRAGTIG!!

    Now try and learn to speak with a "Platteland" accent and with a "Cape" accent!!

  • Go and do some research and you will find out there area allot of Afrikaners/South Africans in Australia, Britten, Canada, USA and other countries and in top positions. Nicole as Afrikaner, I'm very proud of you for trying... Thank you

  • In regarding to your racist comment: I know a few Americans that came to visit or work in SA, and they tell me that racism in the South of USA like Georgia is much worse for what reason I don't know, your people aren't murdered wronged almost every day... Afrikaans is just another dialect of Dutch, Flemish and German, used in various strong countries in other words its not to hard to understand each other... How many dialects does English have, or how many other languages do you understand?

  • Afrikaners through out history has have bargained and made deals with the native Africans for land with cattle and other goods while some Africans repeatedly sabotaged, stole and murdered. What dis the English to in SA, they just took and caused war out of greed. What did the Americans and Australians do, they murdered out and deceived the native people and then gave them or sent them to smaller apart areas near. Again not all are racist, on the contrary we all are getting along better by day

  • @ "brineted1010": I would recommend that you just keep quite if you don't know what your talking about as it will prevent you of sounding stupid... You probably can only speak 1 language... Fun fact for you, the Dutch from then/Afrikaaners in history was 1 of the most fair races that has been wronged trough out history excluding apartheid... I will agree apartheid was wrong, but remember not all Afrikaners was guilty, some even helped fight against Apartheid...

  • @brineted1010 Lol. You really don't know much do you? Afrikaans came from Dutch and it spoken by different people of different races in south africa as their mother tongue.

  • @brineted1010 She sounds like she is from the United States or Canada. Afrikaans is a highly regional language, but there are many Afrikaans speakers in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, as well as recent immigrant speakers in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The latter three countries have large white South African populations.

  • Sjo dis 'n Mooi Girl. Okey mense los my uit eks Single. : (

  • @xUrbanKiLl3rx janee..sy kan maar by haar ma'le kom kuier

    

  • her parents are from Afrikaans

  • it's a shame they didn't teach it to you when you were younger, i agree, but at least you are doing it now! You're really good at it too!! 10/10

  • Haha het is echt precies het zelfde als Nederlands!!!

    

  • What die fokk is jy?

  • Its shitty that your parents didnt teach you this while you were young. All my south afrikan friends can speak it fluently.. some better than their parents.

  • Afrikaans is really easy for dutch people like me :)

  • @04lody04 oh really? I acctually thought this was Dutch at first. Not that I know much about those lanuages, but I'm willing to learn tho >.< xP

  • @hakkematforf Afrikaans evolved from Dutch. 

  • @krim7 isn't it Dutch mixed out with diffrent South-African dialcets and lanuages??

  • @hakkematforf It shares most of the vocabulary. Afrikaans is more straight forward, grammatically speaking. Stripping away the conjugations and such.

  • @Blitzbok oh, ok!

    thank you for clearing that up for me :)

  • Comment removed

  • @hakkematforf Afrikaans definitely adopted many words from other nearby languages but, for the most part, its simply Dutch that evolved down a different path, much like Norwegian and Danish, or what would have happened to English-English and American-English if mass communication hadn't popped on the scene.

  • @04lody04 True. If you just know a few words and some grammar, it is really easy to understand Afrikaans, if you yourself are Dutch. I am Dutch as well. :)
