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: Die aandlug oor Johannesburg was 'n kaleidoskoop van kleure.
En: The night air over Johannesburg was a kaleidoscope of colors.

Af: Die springbries het gereeld oor die hoogtes van die stad se dakke gevloei.
En: The spring breeze regularly flowed over the heights of the city's rooftops.

Af: Op 'n spesifieke dak was daar 'n kroeg, gevul met karakters beter as enige fantasieverhaal.
En: On one specific rooftop, there was a bar filled with characters better than any fantasy story.

Af: Dis Halloween, en die dak het geskenk aan die oog feestelikheid van kleurvolle kostuums onder oranje liggies en vars lenteblomme.
En: It's Halloween, and the rooftop offered a feast for the eyes with colorful costumes under orange lights and fresh spring flowers.

Af: Pieter, 'n saggeaarde rekenmeester, het gesit by 'n tafel in 'n veel te warm pikkewynkostuum.
En: Pieter, a gentle-natured accountant, sat at a table in a much too warm penguin costume.

Af: Sy geheim? Hy was verslaaf aan opwinding, die soeke na risiko's wat sy alledaagse lewe ontbreek.
En: His secret? He was addicted to excitement, the search for risks that his everyday life lacked.

Af: Vandag het hy homself voor 'n hoë-insette pokermaandjie bevind, omring deur fyn dopgehoude gedagtes.
En: Today, he found himself in front of a high-stakes poker game, surrounded by keenly observed minds.

Af: Jaco, in 'n skrikwekkende vampierkostuum, en Maree, wat haarself in 'n ingewikkelde feetjikostuum omslag, het grootoog na Pieter gekyk voordat hulle hul kaarte in die oogskadu van Johannesburg se skyline gesien het.
En: Jaco, in a frightening vampire costume, and Maree, who wrapped herself in an intricate fairy costume, looked wide-eyed at Pieter before they saw their cards in the shadow of Johannesburg's skyline.

Af: Pieter het 'n innerlike stryd geveg.
En: Pieter fought an internal struggle.

Af: Sy pikantene andersins was teen sy gebruik; sy hande het ongemaklik beweeg in die lappe vlerke van sy kostuum.
En: His daring antics were against his norm; his hands moved uncomfortably in the fabric wings of his costume.

Af: Maar hy moes wen. Hy moes vir homself bewys dat hy die onsekerhede van die lewe kon tem.
En: But he had to win. He needed to prove to himself that he could tame life's uncertainties.

Af: Die tafel het stil geraak nes die aand bries oor die rand van die dak geswiep.
En: The table fell silent just as the evening breeze swept over the edge of the rooftop.

Af: Pieter het 'n besluit geneem.
En: Pieter made a decision.

Af: Waarom nie sy kostuum en speelse kant gebruik om te wen nie?
En: Why not use his costume and playful side to win?

Af: Hy het sy stem vermeng met humor en snaakse gebare, soos 'n pikkewyn wat die see van 'n klip af verlustig.
En: He blended his voice with humor and funny gestures, like a penguin delighting in the sea from a rock.

Af: Jaco en Maree se oë was vol verwagting.
En: Jaco and Maree's eyes were full of anticipation.

Af: Die spel het soos 'n sneltrein voortgeduur en het nou gevou in die laaste ronde.
En: The game continued like a fast train and was now folded into the final round.

Af: Pieter se hand was 'n gemors van ongepaarde kaarte.
En: Pieter's hand was a mess of unmatched cards.

Af: Maar hy het 'n plan, sy gesig reggekry vir 'n laaste intree.
En: But he had a plan, readying his face for a...
