Are you ready to supercharge your Afrikaans listening comprehension?

Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Afrikaans, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Afrikaans and English.

This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Cape Town, Stellenbosch, or Franschhoek? Maybe you want to speak Afrikaans with your grandparents from Pretoria?

Our podcast will equip you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in regions where Afrikaans is primarily spoken, such as South Africa and Namibia. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Afrikaans listening comprehension.

Story Transcript:

Af: Dit was 'n helder herfsoggend in die majestueuse Drakensberge.
En: It was a bright autumn morning in the majestic Drakensberge.

Af: Die lug was skerp en vars.
En: The air was crisp and fresh.

Af: Die blaartjies het om die paaie gedans in skakerings van goud en oranje.
En: The leaves danced along the roads in shades of gold and orange.

Af: By die Drakensberg Kosskool het die klok helder geklingel, en dit was 'n tyd vir nuwe uitdagings en ontdekkings.
En: At the Drakensberg Kosskool, the bell rang clearly, and it was a time for new challenges and discoveries.

Af: Anika het haar skooltas oor haar skouer geslinger toe sy by die groot houtdeure uitstap na die tuin.
En: Anika slung her school bag over her shoulder as she stepped out through the large wooden doors into the garden.

Af: Sy het die koue briesie gevoel, maar iets anders het swaar op haar hart gedruk.
En: She felt the cold breeze, but something else weighed heavily on her heart.

Af: Haar ouers se egskeiding.
En: Her parents' divorce.

Af: Dit was moeilik om dit te aanvaar.
En: It was difficult to accept.

Af: Sy het alleen gevoel, al was sy omring deur klasmaats.
En: She felt alone, even though she was surrounded by classmates.

Af: Johan, met sy vriendelike oë en geduldige glimlag, het op haar gewag.
En: Johan, with his kind eyes and patient smile, was waiting for her.

Af: "Is jy reg vir die stap?
En: "Are you ready for the walk?"

Af: " het hy gevra, sy stem sag, amper 'n fluistering tussen die bergreuse.
En: he asked, his voice soft, almost a whisper among the mountain giants.

Af: "Ja," het Anika geantwoord.
En: "Yes," Anika replied.

Af: Dit was tyd om te praat.
En: It was time to talk.

Af: Hulle het die voetpaadjie gevolg wat kronkelend teen die heuwels opgehardloop het, en die wêreld onder hulle het soos 'n tapyt van valleie en klowe uitgesprei.
En: They followed the footpath that wound its way up the hills, and the world below them spread out like a carpet of valleys and ravines.

Af: "Johan," het Anika uiteindelik begin, haar stem effens gebreek, "ek weet nie hoe om hierdie ding met my ouers te hanteer nie.
En: "Johan," Anika finally began, her voice slightly breaking, "I don’t know how to handle this thing with my parents.

Af: Dit voel asof niks weer normaal sal wees nie.
En: It feels like nothing will ever be normal again."

Af: "Johan het stil gestaan, sy hand op haar skouer geplaas.
En: Johan stood still, placing his hand on her shoulder.

Af: "Ek verstaan.
En: "I understand.

Af: My gesin is ook nie perfek nie.
En: My family isn’t perfect either.

Af: Hulle is so besig dat hulle my gereeld vergeet.
En: They are so busy that they often forget about me.

Af: Maar jy weet, ons kan mekaar help.
En: But you know, we can help each other."

Af: " Sy oë het ernstigheid gedra, maar ook iets soos hoop.
En: His eyes carried seriousness, but also something like hope.

Af: Hulle het verder gestap, die gedruis van 'n klein waterval in die verte.
En: They walked further, the murmur of a small waterfall in the distance.

Af: Nadat hulle die bopunt van die heuwel bereik het, het Anika diep asemgehaal.
En: After they reached the top of the hill, Anika took a deep breath.

Af: Sy het die wêreld onder haar gesien,...
