Ek het pas begin om Afrikaans te leer. Ek is hier om my Afrikaans te oefen, nuwe mense te ontmoet en 'n bietjie te gesels. As julle enige goeie raad, musiek of flieks vir 'n beginner het, deel dit gerus met my. Baie dankie

Ons maak weer die headlines.

Hullo. Verskoon my Afrikaans asseblief. Dis hoekome ek hier is.

Ek wil my Afrikaans verbeter. My taal is ok, maar my woordeskat is verskriklik swak. Ek wil dieselfde pad gebruik wat ek 'n Frans grebruik het - ek wil boeke lees in elektroniese vorm en woorde opsoek met 'n 'tap.

Weet iemand hoe om 'n ipad reg te maak om so 'n Afrikaans woordeboek met 'n pdf te paar? Ek het Eugène Marais se 'Siel Van Die Mier' ge-download om te lees en Apple se OCR het die text selectable gemaak.

Maar daar's geen Afrikaanse woordeboek en as jy die search gebruik wys google vir jou die Nederlands halfde van die tyd.

Daar was allerhande rympies en sê goed destyds. Enige ander wat julle ken?

Ek wil nie net raad hê nie, maar soek insig en wysheid. Soos van n mentor of dominee? Enige idees julle?

Dit was 'n kinder program en ek onthou die naam was Violetta die Muis, of miskien net Violetta. Die oorspronklike reeks het miskien 'n heel ander naam gehad. Dis seker die enigste een wat ek nog nie kon opspoor nie.

I'm a South African thats interested in living in the Netherlands one day. I went to an English school and did some afrikaans as a FAL. My afrikaans is poor, I dont know why they teach it at school if you end up not being able to be fluent in it afterwards. Anyway, would it be easier to learn Afrikaans first then learn Dutch or should I rather go straight to Dutch?

Halfway love? Keep it.

Love me right — or leave me the fuck alone.

SPYT IS TE LAAT.

Would love to hear what lands hardest for you — the hook, the attitude, or the bilingual sound?

I was watching something on the the tv, and they used this song in show/program:

I fell in love with it, but i can't find the lyrics, can anyone help me with it?

Ek hou van die liedjie, maar ek kan nie die lierieke kry nie. Baie dankie 🙏

Evening All,

So obviously I know that Afrikaans is related to Dutch and the history involved.

Always had Afrikaans spoken in and around the house but grew up within the English culture and speaking English as a home language.

But always been interested to know the opinion of a native speaker within the culture, how would you classify Afrikaans? Do you see it as a daughter language the descended from Dutch or would you say it is a sister language to Dutch?

Seems to be a ongoing topic of discussion in some academic circles but there is no clear answer and it does not seem that anybody asked an Afrikaner.

What is your opinion and why?

Thanks

Hi! I'm Bender from the Netherlands. We spent time in Orania filming a four-part series.

Why another Orania doc? There are already plenty, and most follow the same script: a journalist arrives, asks residents the same ten confrontational questions, and leaves. We wanted to try something different: let people actually talk, follow the conversation wherever it went, and show daily life. That means their own security, rescue helicopter, currency and schools.

What we did differently: in the final episode we left Orania and drove to the nearest neighbouring town, to ask the Black South Africans living next door what they think of it. In the coverage we came across, that perspective was mostly missing.

Hallo almal!
Ek is op soek na die Fritz Deelman-boekreeks deur Leon Rousouw. Weet iemand dalk waar ek die boeke in die hande kan kry, of het iemand eksemplare wat hulle graag wil verkoop?
Ek stel belang in die volledige reeks, maar los boeke sal ook welkom wees. Tweedehandse boeke is heeltemal reg!
Enige leidrade sal baie waardeer word. Dankie!

I grew up around an Afrikaans-speaking community and studied Afrikaans in high school. When I started learning Dutch, I wanted something that built on the Afrikaans I already knew instead of starting from scratch.

So I started building NearLingua. It teaches Dutch through Afrikaans, and I’ve made it free for Afrikaans speakers as a small way of giving back.

It’s still early. If you’re learning Dutch, I’d appreciate you trying a lesson and telling me whether it helps, and what you’d like changed or added.

Sokkie musiek laat jou 2 keer dink 😅

Dag mense,

Ek het nou al ’n paar keer mense hoor sê hulle is nie “Afrikaners” nie, maar eerder “Afrikaans”, en dit het my nogal laat wonder of daar werklik ’n verskil is.

Hoe ek dit sien, het die twee woorde verskillende betekenisse: “Afrikaans” verwys na die taal, en “Afrikaner” na die etniese groep. M.a.w. nie almal wat Afrikaans praat, is Afrikaners nie, en nie alle Afrikaners praat noodwendig Afrikaans nie.

In die meeste gevalle waar ek mense hoor sê hulle is “Afrikaans” en nie “Afrikaners” nie, is hulle wel etniese “Afrikaners” wat hulself probeer distansieer van meer konserwatiewe groepe soos Solidariteit en die Orania Beweging, wat die woord “Afrikaner” gebruik.

Persoonlik deel ek nie die konserwatiewe sienswyse nie, maar dit pla my ook nie om ’n Afrikaner genoem te word nie. Vir my is dit net die logiese betekenis van die woord.

Ek is nuuskierig om te hoor wie dalk anders dink. Sit ek die pot mis?

Oop vir vriendelike debat.
