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: Elsa se voete sink in die dik sneeu.
En: Elsa’s feet sink into the thick snow.

Af: Die wind fluit oor die verlatenheid soos 'n treurige lied.
En: The wind whistles over the desolation like a mournful song.

Af: Sy trek haar jas stywer om haar lyf en kyk oor die eindelose wit landskap.
En: She pulls her coat tighter around her body and looks over the endless white landscape.

Af: Daar is 'n gerug van 'n veilige toevlug oorkant die berge.
En: There is a rumor of a safe haven beyond the mountains.

Af: Dit is haar hoop, haar doel.
En: It is her hope, her goal.

Af: Onderweg het sy gekom op Pieter en Liam, twee ander oorlewendes.
En: Along the way, she encountered Pieter and Liam, two other survivors.

Af: Hulle het oor 'n vuur gesit in die wrak van 'n ou motor en haar uitgenooi om hulle te join.
En: They were sitting by a fire in the wreck of an old car and invited her to join them.

Af: In 'n wêreld vol wantroue is elke ontmoeting versigtig.
En: In a world full of distrust, every encounter is cautious.

Af: Maar Elsa sien iets in hulle oë: dieselfde verlange om dalk weer met geliefdes herenig te word.
En: But Elsa sees something in their eyes: the same longing to perhaps be reunited with loved ones.

Af: Die landskap is genadeloos.
En: The landscape is merciless.

Af: Die ruïnes van ou stede lyk soos spoke teen die grys lug.
En: The ruins of old cities look like ghosts against the gray sky.

Af: Hulle beweeg versigtig, altyd op die uitkyk vir gevaar.
En: They move cautiously, always on the lookout for danger.

Af: Kos is skaars.
En: Food is scarce.

Af: Hulle deel wat hulle het: 'n blikkie boontjies, 'n paar beskuitjies.
En: They share what they have: a can of beans, a few biscuits.

Af: Een aand, as die lug kouer word, tref hulle 'n kamp op onder 'n verlate brug.
En: One evening, as the air gets colder, they set up camp under an abandoned bridge.

Af: Die vuur knetter saggies.
En: The fire crackles softly.

Af: Pieter vertel stories van sy familie.
En: Pieter tells stories of his family.

Af: Liam droom hardop oor 'n warmer plek, dalk 'n hoopvolle toekoms.
En: Liam dreams aloud of a warmer place, perhaps a hopeful future.

Af: Elsa luister en voel hoe hoop in haar binneste groei.
En: Elsa listens and feels hope growing inside her.

Af: Net voor sononder, eendag, kom 'n aanval onverwags.
En: Just before sunset, one day, an attack comes unexpectedly.

Af: 'n Vyandige groep wil hulle min kos en klere hê.
En: A hostile group wants their meager food and clothes.

Af: Elsa, Pieter, en Liam mobiliseer vinnig.
En: Elsa, Pieter, and Liam mobilize quickly.

Af: Elsa gebruik haar skerpioenmes, terwyl Pieter 'n verroeste ysterstaaf swaai.
En: Elsa uses her scorpion knife, while Pieter swings a rusty iron rod.

Af: Liam gooi klippe na die aanvallers.
En: Liam throws stones at the attackers.

Af: Dit is 'n hewige stryd, maar die groep oorwin.
En: It is a fierce battle, but the group prevails.

Af: Hulle staan moeg, maar lewend.
En: They stand tired but alive.

Af: Nadat die stof gaan lê het, kyk Elsa na Pieter en Liam.
En: After the dust has settled, Elsa looks at Pieter and Liam.

Af: Hulle oë is ferm, maar daar is 'n nuwe band van vertroue.
En: Their...
